Hi all.
*
I tested on XO-1.75 with os14; the frame appeared fine (booting-up with the
USB-flash drive, and USB-modem inserted) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
Pulling off my hair, I re-tested on XO-1.75 with os11 (booting-up with the
USB-flash drive, and USB-modem inserted) ; thankfully, the frame-icon did
not appear (as before).
*
I then tested on XO-1.75 with the os12 (booting up with the USB-flash
drive, and USB-modem inserted); the frame-icon appeared FINE here too.
I compared the packages-difference between os11 and os12; os12 has an
updated version of usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch_data. Also, in os12,
there is no more the error
usb_modeswitch_dispatcher: *** glibc detected ***
usb_modeswitch_dispatcher: double free or corruption (!prev):
0x00081fe0 ***
that was happening in os11 (in the culprit case, that is).
So, bad news : Things are happening without us knowing the root-cause :-\
good news : Seems like http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12340 can be
closed :D
Thanks everyone for the help (especially James).
