It has been reported that teachers are upset by the fact that children have differing collections of activities on their home views; to the extent that some deployments forbid children from loading "unofficial" activities onto their machines. As an easy workaround to both offering the teacher a consistent classroom experience for each child and for the children to have the freedom to modify their system's look and feel to their convenience and taste, I am proposing to have two home views: one for school and one for personal use.

I propose replacing the spiral vs random view buttons with school vs personal buttons (using the school and xo icons). There would be a separate collection of activities for each view, set in the list view.

* Multiple home pages are enabled using gconf, e.g., to enable two home views:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/view_icons --type list --list-type string ['view-radial','view-radial']
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/view_favorites --type list --list-type string ['emblem-favorite','emblem-favorite']
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/favorite_names --type list --list-type string ['Home View','Student View']
* A deployment might enable this in:
olpc-os-builder:modules/sugar/kspost.50.gconf.inc
