Comment(by Eben):

 Actually, when one activity is closed, the next in the stack should be
 revealed.  In the older versions of Sugar we switched back to Home since
 one could select another running activity from there.  In the new design,
 however, Home is an activity launcher.  We switch to another running
 activity both because the always-available Frame makes it trivial to
 switch to another activity of choice (or Home itself), and because we want
 to encourage continued work in running activities over starting new
 instances.

 Obviously, despite this change in approach, we need to make sure that the
 Home model is aware of the status of various activities, and should never
 show a launcher for an activity which has finished launching, no less one
 which has since been stopped.
