Comment:

 When reading about the unicode issue I was reminded of the
 [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4031 issue] we had recently. So I wanted
 to check if we do set byte_arrays to true.

 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/neighborhood.py#line911
 This is] where we get the buddy information from. I traced that back using
 (import inspect; inspect.stack()) and this gets us
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/neighborhood.py#line428
 here] and this originates
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/neighborhood.py#line336
 here].

 So all is fine, we set byte_arrays to true but still the color is in
 unicode. Doing the same than what is done in the patch from Manuel here
 when we first get the color will make the buddy icon appear.
