 X cannot guarantee the order in which these notifications are processed in
 different applications. So it can still be the case that app A releases
 the camera  after app B tried to open it. You'ld need a hand-shake
 protocol for this, and that's more easily implemented in Sugar IMHO,  by
 setting B to active only when A's setActive() call has returned.
