[CC'ing sugar-devel again for NetworkManager advice]

It occured to me to check the logs of the SECOND Linux user I was
runing sugar-emulator as (using su) and this time I DID find errors.
Looks like a permissions thing, but you be the judge.  Log files for
the second user are attached.
Just had a quick look (heading for university soon, will give this and the strace log a more thorough look later):

[presenceservice.log]
** (process:10387): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-jim is not the current user
I guess "jim" is the first user? In that case it looks like your primary user environment is "leaking" through to the second one. Can you try using ssh (with -XY to enabled X forwarding) instead of su?

It's quite possible that in the Sugar version you run this error is fatal (it might even be that way in the current version - there's a not-yet-approved patch from me waiting to be applied that should fix this as well if it's still fatal). Unfortunately how to grant access to NetworkManager varies from distro to distro (and even between different setups). Maybe someone more familiar with the Fedora way to do it can help.
Options I've encountered so far:
- add user to group "netdev"
- modify some ConsoleKit configs
- modify some PolicyKit configs
