I now tried using the SoaS F15 RC3:
* booting in VirtualBox 4.0.6 takes several minutes, compared to a few seconds booting SoaS F14.
* it does not run Sugar on its own but presents the regular GDM login screen
* it asks the keyring password question
* liveinst complains that it needs 640 MB of RAM but my VM had only 512. Maybe that explains the slow boot too? If so, it does not bode well for running on XO-1
* alt-tab does not switch between activities
* presence-service fails. The buddy-icon.jpg used to be created in jarabe/intro/window.py but that code was removed:
  http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/commit/c38e03f641e2f409464340bf67826809cf2f94dc
  maybe a quick fix would be to revert that commit?
