It still does work :) The backup_url is in gconf 
('/desktop/sugar/backup_url') now in 0.84. Once we have an url - we use 
this as a way to know we have been registered. You can un-register using 
the cp command line tool.

So the code in browse should for 0.82 use the old way of checking if we 
are registered and for the master code check the gconf value of 
'/desktop/sugar/backup_url'.

Make sense?
