Oops, had the rpm ready when I realized that it wouldn't work as-is
because the rainbow daemon needs to have permissions to connect to
olpc's X display in order to initialize gtk and all the modules that
depend on it. During testing I've been just running xhost + before
launching rainbow.

In ubuntu, pygtk looks to emit just a warning when is unable to open
the display, but on fedora this raises an exception.

Any idea?
