Hey Mike, Make sure to restart Sugar between activity changes (Ctrl+Alt+Erase) as the shell doesn't automatically pick up changes yet. Also, make sure the .SVG is located in the same folder as the activity.infofile. You might try copying a .svg from another activity (say Browse) and renaming it

Tony, Read Etexts does *not* have speech disabled. If you install speech-dispatcher and configure it to use espeak (NOT espeak-generic) then it will work. What happens in my code is I try to import speech-dispatcher python and if I don't find it then I hide the Speech tab on the toolbar.

note that if the XS is acting as a proxy the cache issue can be addressed. The XS can get a copy of the XO client cert at registration time, and with it can decrypt the HTTPS traffic and cache the unencrypted version. this is a lot of cpu, but it's on the XS not the XO, so it shouldn't be
