eg. No way to go to links in wikipedia when in ebook mode.

• On Ubuntu: apt-get install sugar sugar-activities; sugar-emulator
  • Gotcha: leaves processes behind, fix with:

  ps aux|grep sugar|awk '{print $2}'|xargs kill -9

• bugs in finding other laptops in neighbourhood. Sometimes we found the network was effectively partitioned and some could only see one or two, or none

• Browse - right click on a link to see the url, the context menu appeared over to the right (of the mouse click, still on the rather long url text) and the url was off the side of the screen. Alt-tab with the menu present left the context menu there on top of the other activities (terminal & journal)

• The text on a submit button in Browse is white (invisible) on hover (eg. initial page)
