The fact that Fedora 10 uses python2.5 (and works correctly) supports  
someone's idea that this is problem is related to the python version  
being used; so far, all known non-working cases use python2.6.

I suggest you have a look at AccessGrid/AppMonitor.py - it shows how  
to join a Shared App., obtain its state and then its description. This  
description seems to include the name of whoever started the app - as  
is shown if you right click->Open Monitor on any shared app. In your  
applications, if your own profile's name matches that of the app's  
creator then you would consider yourself the teacher, otherwise a  
student.
