glib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1:
Could not send message to gconf daemon: Method "GetIOR" with signature
"" on interface "org.gnome.GConf" doesn't exist


So the problem looks like Ticket #111 at
http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/111.  Not knowing much about gconf, I
did trace the problem to something in the environment that
sugar-emulator sets up (the gconf snippet works outside of it, with
the same python path etc, but not inside the xephyr env).  Here's my
/var/log/messages tail:
