It's time to think outside the box again. These office-oriented
pointing devices aren't working very well. Kids are commonly
coated with stuff. That includes abrasive grit, conductive liquid,
and opaque liquid. Mud and food are particularly common.
The touchpad fails with conductive liquid.

1. My typical use of laptops is nearly always with the AC adapter
plugged in. I don't travel a lot, and when I do, I generally don't
operate the laptop in an aircraft. I've been told that this is harder on
batteries than allowing them to discharge and recharge.
With the XO, though, I'm planning

Jake,
How do you swap out the window manager?
I missed the question earlier, sorry.
The simplest thing is to edit /usr/bin/olpc-session. The last

You can change it so that:

With the XO, though, I'm planning to use it more like a laptop -- only
connect to AC when required. Is that easier on the battery, harder on
the battery, or about the same as what I've done with my older
laptops?
I'm not a battery wizard. To first order, I'd expect battery lifetime to be

I have been playing with Swing Apps on the XO
So far I think I see that
1) JFrame has issues with placement and size
2) Swing menus do not work properly in a JFrame
