Just to make sure, the students' username on the computers that they
take home is still 'student', correct?

So their Desktop folder will be located at /home/student/Desktop, correct?

I ask this because I have to hard-code the path to Scratch in the "Run
Scratch" launcher that will be placed on students' desktops.  The
launcher just calls /home/student/Desktop/Scratch/runscratch.sh

The scratch installation plan goes like this:

Students get a CD with 2 things on it:
1) Scratch directory
2) A .desktop link pointing to Scratch.

Installation goes like this:

1)  Copy Scratch folder and desktop icon from CD to student's desktop.
2)  Double-click the desktop icon to run Scratch.

I didn't find a way to make the "installer" more robust by pointing
the link to "$HOME/Desktop", but this should work for this class.

I will need to get together with a ghosting image guru to put Scratch
on the next batch of students' computers.  It's pretty simple, actually.
