[OLPC-AU] Test request: Scratch and XO freezing

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Thanks

I am running V16 and waiting to see if it crashes

To install V16 I found it necessary to uninstall the previous version.
As my OS373pyg has it as a protected Activity I needed to delete the directory in Gnome

Home list view shows it as 20100321 but About shows 
Scratch 1.4 (XO V16) of 16 Jun 10
