 I'm not registered with your bug tracking system, but I do have info
 about bug 5580.

 This is almost certainly related to the mime-type for turtle art. Kept
 turtle art is currently given a mime type of: application/x-tar
 according to TurtleArtActivity.py. So that would explain the tar
 confusion. However, that will not solve the problem as there does not
 appear to be any registered mime type for turtle art, so the journal
 doesn't know what to do with a ta type. In my local copy I changed
 TurtleArtActivity.py to use application type application/x-ta and added
 a corresponding "mime-types = application/x-ta" line to the
 activity.info file for turtle art. I am sure this is not sufficient as
 I do not fully understand how the journal uses mime types, etc, but for
 me it is at least functional. I guess if you don't fix it in the next
 update, my changes will get clobbered.

 Despite these changes, copying the "kept" turtle art journal entry to
 the clipboard will not allow me to open the file (from the clipboard).
 The clipboard still seems to think it is a tar file.

 Let me know if you have any further questions.
