You're right that activities are where the breakage will be most obvious.

For example, Browse launches fine but fails to resume due to an exception in
the datastore:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 21, in <module>
     main.main()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/main.py", line 146, in main
     create_activity_instance(activity_constructor, activity_handle)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/main.py", line 35, in create_activity_instance
     activity = constructor(handle)
   File "/usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/webactivity.py", line 229, in __init__
     elif not self._jobject.file_path:
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/datastore/datastore.py", line 110, in get_file_path
     self.set_file_path(dbus_helpers.get_filename(self.object_id))
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/datastore/dbus_helpers.py", line 82, in get_filename
     filename = _get_data_store().get_filename(uid)
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__
     **keywords)
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 622, in call_blocking
     message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.OSError: Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/dbus/service.py", line 702, in _message_cb
     retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/carquinyol/datastore.py", line 258, in get_filename
     return self._file_store.retrieve(uid, user_id, extension)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/carquinyol/filestore.py", line 132, in retrieve
     os.link(file_path, destination_path)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

However, many other seem to be fine.

Michael

P.S. - The cut-n-paste instructions on 

   http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow/Installation_Instructions

have some Debian paths baked into them. On Fedora, you're going to want to
substitute 

  /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages for /usr/shared/pyshared

pretty much everywhere. Hopefully I'll be able to write up some more more
Fedora-specific instructions (or a script) in the next day or two.
