1. On a dual boot machine, probably an xo, where activities are installed

No, it isn't. XOs aren't the only machines running Sugar. And, FWIW,
there's no dual-boot on the XO: Sugar and Gnome are desktop environments,
not operating systems. You can switch between them at run time.
The last time I tried it, SoaS used "liveuser" as user name. On my own XO
(running Debian Squeeze instead of an OLPC build), the user name is
sascha.silbe. On multi-user systems (e.g. LTSP) you'll have several
different users with different user names. And these are just the most
common configurations...
2. Sugar as an application in gnome (within a Xephyr window) where
activities can be installed.... a few places, including
/home/user/Activities/
sugar-emulator is meant for development, not regular usage. It doesn't
affect locations (for executables, data, activities, etc.) in any way,
however.
In Gnome-sugar-desktop Installs, and my Virtualbox4 Virtual Machines (1)
Activities seem to be located in 2 places:
1-)original (and .rpm?) Activities are in /usr/share/sugar/activities/xxx
2-) They seem to be ignored once an (xxx).xo file is downloaded from ASLO
these are in /home/(user)/Activities/xxx
I set them up with a sugar icon (Add to Desktop) on the Gnome Desktop
with properties "sugar-emulator -f" (Full screen)
This is the main way the sugar-desktop is accessed.
Or from the Menu Item: Education/Sugar where it is windowed.
(Though the user can use gdm switcher to open sugar alone at login)

Your remaining questions have probably already been addressed in my
previous message. If not, please ask again.
