The eToys developers are basically unresponsive, I'm in two minds
whether we even bother to ship it because they can't be bothered doing
things like updating to the latest sugar by migrating away from
sugar-presence-service/ which was deprecated a long time ago.

Can you take the log file and send to sugar-devel list.

I'm not sure what you mean by "previous" and "do not appear"

Are they in the Activities list? (the icon with lines in the top right
of the home screen)

> Is there a public list where I can send similar diagnostic files ?

Either the SoaS list or sugar-devel should be fine, both were on the
original message.
