[Sugar-devel] GPA collaboration Issues - owner key theory

I tested this on my eeePC with soas.

First I deleted gconf/gconfd and I got to pick my name and colors, but
my jabber id was the same.

So I removed owner.key(.pub) without gconf and i got a new key and my
jabber id changed.

I think it can't hurt to try it quick on some of the sticks before
they are reburned.
