First I think we should enabled debugging on the SoaS.

To do that I edit ~/.Xclients to include this

 if [ -f ~/.sugar/debug ]; then
         . ~/.sugar/debug
 fi

before  eval \\\$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)

Then we need to edit ~/.sugar/debug to fix a couple of typos:


Missing space between exportGABBLE_LOGFILE
and exportSALUTLOGFILE.

It should be
export GABBLE_LOGFILE...
export SALUT_LOGFILE

Then reboot the SoaS. This should provide debugging of telepathy on
the client side.
