I believe that that's what they want. Others have definitely
complained about the regressions (or "lockdown") of our
Last week, we heard feedback on 12.1.0 from a deployment, asking "why
did you lock down GNOME so much? it's unusable!".
Today, I see this bug report, essentially pointing out 'regressions'
in our GNOME desktop - http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12118

Glad that we found the reason. We should add an explicit check in OOB
that gives you a more useful error msg.
Compared with x86 builders, an XO-1.75 is fairly slow, and getting
