Comment(by bemasc):

 There is an easy way to back out of any shared activity; just close it.
 Resuming that instance from the journal should not re-share it.
 Continuous saving means that closing is very non-destructive, and resuming
 a recently closed activity takes two clicks.

 The Terminal _should_ be shareable, creating something very much like an
 SSH tunnel, except both users can type at the same terminal.  This would
 educationally invaluable.  For security reasons, a Shareable terminal
 instance should run with only P_SANDBOX permissions.  If users want to
 copy-paste commands into a more privileged environment, they may launch a
 second terminal instance that is not shared.
