Comment:

 This will be greatly assuaged by the implementation of #3784, which will
 provide visual (and perhaps audible) feedback when things appear in the
 Frame (be they clippings, invitations, new activity participants, etc.)

 However, this bug is still valid.  We need to auto-scroll the activity
 tray to the beginning anytime a new invitation arrives so that it will be
 visible the next time the Frame in invoked.  Although it "breaks" the
 persistence of the currently visible activities, we feel that anytime you
 intend to instantiate a new activity (and therefore are looking at the
 activity bar), it's worthwhile to consider any open invitations. It also
 fits better with the notification alert system outlined in the previously
 mentioned ticket, which tries to make a spatial relationship between the
 notification icon and the resulting object's location in the Frame.

 This is high priority, since it's (I assume) pretty easy to add, and will
 make such a difference in enabling collaboration without overhead on the
 part of the kids.
