I have been testing the RC4 f17 release of SoaS [1] and I see a problem with e-toys:
If jabber.sugarlabs.org is connected via a wireless AP, or wired network, e-toys will not start:

DBusError: Process /usr/bin/sugar-presence-service exited with status 1

Etoys runs fine if wireless is not logged in and/or wired network is not connected. (no jabber connected)

As Etoys is a favorite on the f3 ring and f17 release is imminent, I feel that this is an important bug to look at.

tested with dd usb and liveinst HD install

Also confirmed in VirtualBox install of Fedora-17-i686-Live-SoaS.iso

If after HD install to Virtualbox; network is turned off E-toys starts example as expected.

when started with network connection on; DBusError message returns.

Note that if (X) on top left corner of error message is clicked you can draw and save files locally with E-toys.
It may be the DbusError shown is only due to the starting example, which requires /usr/bin/sugar-presence-service to be present.

This is because the presence service crashes:

Sugar 0.96 actually requires Etoys 5, which is more robust wrt presence service failures. I just tried in Fedora-17-i686-Live-SoaS, Etoys 5 does not produce an error like Etoys 4.1, but starts up just fine.

This can be solved in two ways: Re-implement the presence service in Etoys (which I'm working on, but will take time) or fix /usr/bin/sugar-presence-service (which worked still fine in Sugar 0.94).
