Comment (by tomeu):

 Declaring dnd support for a type is completely different than declaring
 that an activity is capable of opening that type.

 In Xdnd, deciding which data type an app will receive is negotiated as
 part of the protocol.

 For resuming entries and opening objects from the journal, you have to
 specify in the activity.info which mime types you understand as full
 documents, not just as snippets.

 For trial2 we don't have any mechanism in the UI for letting the user
 choose which activity to open the entry/object in, so we need to
 coordinate the mime types that activities claim to support.

 I have opened two tickets for trial3 about it: #2543 and #2544.
