Yes, but only tested over a few reboot cycles for each.

- Trackpad and keyboard stop working after letting XO to go into sleep. Power button wakes machine, backlight on, interface redraws, but no keyboard or mouse. Used power button to cycle sleeping/waking several times but no change. 2 presses of power button to switch off and try again.

- Manually putting to sleep with the power button, same result. Interestingly, when the machine is asleep, moving the mouse or pressing keys does make the power led light up, but once machine is awake mouse and keys are dead again.

- Seemed to break after dcon freeze (you can usually see the screen briefly jump/glitch), wiggling the mouse right after the screen glitch but before the screen blanked still lost keyboard and mouse input (at least on two occasions).

- Yes, tested both an install of vim, then a general update.

- Yes, tested in TamTam, Speak, Pippy, Memorize, Record.

- Yes, but with loss of keyboard and mouse as noted above.

- For the majority of Activities I checked (Speak, Turtle Art, Moon, Memorize, Pippy, Read, Calculate, Labyrinth, Chat, Record, anything with the default Activity toolbar name/share/keep/stop), the Activity toolbar content now a tiny bit longer so that the Stop button is being pushed (by only a few pixels) into an overflow drop down menu :-( Did the gtk theme or widgets get tweaked, font size looks about right. Oddly enough I'm sure I disable the "Share with" widget in my Moon and Labyrinth activity code (as they don't yet support sharing), but they are now both showing the "Share with" widget in the toolbar, hmmmm....

- Record Activity only showing an audio tab, so can't test video or photo taking ability.

- Booting into Gnome does not recognise the XO battery and shows a "battery may be broken broken or very low charge" warning (I was originally running the XO from battery at about 50% charge remaining, but you get the same warning if on mains power).

- Still seeing two network device icons in bottom of the Sugar frame.
