 I booted recent Rawhide-XO on my XO off SD card.  After logging in to
 Sugar, after the cursor got chunky but before the Home view appeared, the
 screen went black and the Gnome spinning cursor returned.

 I looked in Sugar's shell.log and saw:
 {{{

     main()
   File "/usr/bin/sugar-session", line 157, in main

     timestamp = int(config.get(section, 'timestamp'))
 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'None'
 }}}

 I guess Python won't turn 'None' into an int, so the code needs to handle
 this.  I looked in older shell.log files and it happened another time.  I
 don't know whether this is the reason my Sugar session didn't start.  If
 it is, it seems all this networking code should be in a try-catch block --
 a network failure shouldn't stop the Sugar desktop from launching.
