 Build 871
 sugar 0.92.2
 firmware q2e45
 wireless firmware 5.110.22.p23
*note very slow response
*'''Activities only start on second try''' (get "failed to start" on 
first try)
: (This may be related to  dbus timeout error seen in log in Soasv4 and v5)
: it takes about 15 seconds for a response.Including exiting an activity.

===Testing===

*>Download IRC-10.xo from Browse Home (OLPC Activity Library/Activities 
-ASLO?)
:connects fine(on second try) to #sugar and #sugar-es(Default)
*>Connected to Jabber.sugarlabs.org
:only see shared activities NO Avitars
::This may be a known bug in sugar 0.92.2 where the jabber gets 
overloaded with present and past Avitars from users. (I have seen >200 
on screen) eventually only shared activities are displayed
 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2845
 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2897
:::This does not occur in sugar 0.88.1
