Comment(by walter):

 In sugar-build, the problem is fixed by adding user-dir.dirs to
 state/home/default/config

 But we should make Sugar more robust in light of this error.

 I've been having an additional problem in sugar-build: when I change an
 entry in the detail view and then change a second journal item, the
 metadata gets copied from one to the other.

 Haven't been able to reproduce this in OLPC os28 (Sugar 0.98).
