No, that is where they search for the identity manager,
which provides them with the jabber server to use.

do the new XO builds point to "schoolserver" instead of
update.laptop.org? I haven't checked that in forever.
if they point to schoolserver for jabber server, then there is no
problem

Based on feedback from Carla, Bryan, and Kim, I recently undertook a
general review of touchpad, glide-sensor, and pen-tablet related
tickets. My grim results are listed in some detail in my post-script.
Here are some general observations:

This probably means you don't have the school server set up properly
somehow.
You need the identity manager running on a machine which is discoverable
by the laptop at schoolserver in the default DNS domain returned by
the DHCP server.

In my experience it remains something like update.laptop.org or

The XKB layout itself is not enough. But XKB + XIM is enough, as far
as I can tell. So the choice is actually between XKB/us + GtkIM and
XKB/am + XIM. The latter seems more universal - it is not bound to
particular toolkit.
