 The view source key worked in Ship.2, but doesn't in Update.1 due to
 Rainbow.  Here's a security-team-approved solution for having it work in
 Update.1:

  * Sugar traps the view source key (in the same way that it traps the mesh
 zoom key), and sends a dbus message to the current activity letting it
 know that view source has happened
  * The activity creates a datastore object with an appropriate mime type
 that contains the source code
  * The activity asks Sugar to resume the newly-created object.  Sugar will
 decide which activity is appropriate to handle the object's mime type and
 launch it.

 Michael, please let me know if this sounds like an imprecise/incorrect
 transcription.

 I'd like to target this as Update.1/blocker, since it is a regression from
 Ship.2.  rwh has volunteered to come up with a patch.
