Comment(by cscott):

 I agree that this should eventually go in a graphical sugar-control-panel.
 In the short term, implementing this as an activity requires no changes to
 other parts of the system, and thus has no blocking requirements.  We can
 fold this into a gui later, when the other requirements are in place.  I
 don't imagine exposing the Key Manager as an activity; I think of it as a
 helper application like "Read".

 It's not clear to me, necessarily, that "launching the control panel with
 a file" is an appropriate thing to do, while "launching the key manager
 with a key" makes sense (to me).  But perhaps "launching the control panel
 with a file" would provide a means in general to apply classroom-wide
 settings, such as time zone.  I don't have a strong opinion here.

 To be clear, the motivating use case is "click a link to a lease file in
 Browse and have it installed".  I'm open to other mechanisms to make this
 happen.
