 BACKGROUND:  Had exisitng mesh connection (using channel 1) between
 several XO-1s (none with #1610 fix).  Brought up another XO-1 (os850, with
 #1610 fix).  That XO automatically put parentheses around (i.e., auto-
 connected) the ad-hoc icon for channel 1 in its Neighborhood.  I did not
 want that, so I clicked on 'Disconnect' in that icon's palette.  I then
 clicked on the "Mesh" icon for channel 1 in that XO's Neighborhood.
 Except for that "Mesh" icon pulsing, nothing further happened.  My
 patience ran out, so I changed the gconf /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc
 value to 'false' - that made the ad-hoc icons disappear from that system's
 Neighborhood, but its "Mesh" icon for channel 1 kept on pulsing -- without
 connecting.

 PROBLEM:  I rebooted the os851 (with #1610 fix) XO-1 (which now had the
 gconf adhoc value set false), and clicked on the "Mesh" icon for channel 1
 in that system's Neighborhood.  Although that icon kept on pulsing,
 despite me waiting for many many minutes that system did not connect to
 the existing mesh network.  Took system dump.
