You can see the packages used for x86 and ARM builds respectively, for
the most recent development build from OLPC

http://build.laptop.org/13.1.0/os11/xo-1/31011o0.packages.txt

http://build.laptop.org/13.1.0/os11/xo-4/31011o4.packages.txt

These are basically Fedora 17 (or 18) spins. I can't really answer the
fallback or shell question as I do not fully understand the details.
