 For clarification, a new version of an installed bundle should simply
 overwrite the one already installed on disk.  This is a problem with
 sugar-install-bundle in general: overwriting existing bundles is a chore.

 Normal or not, this is not correct.  If an activity lives inside the
 Journal, than it ''is'' installed (or should be) by definition.
 "Resuming" an activity (.xo) object should actually just create a new
 instance of that activity, as if it were launched from the frame.  We can
 change the text on the rollover for the resume button to "Start" in this
 case, to clarify that behavior.

 > >  4. Choosing "Add to Journal" from the clipboard icon menu, installs
 the activity, making it appear in the bottom frame.

 Rock on.  This is good news in general.  Of course, once we have in-
 progress entries within the Journal, this object won't appear in the
 clipboard at all (from Browse), but there will be other cases where this
 will be important for sure.
