 sugar-launch should prefer an exact match over a substring match.

 Activities saved with Pippy's "Keep as Activity" option end up by default
 with a dbus id of the form 'org.laptop.pippy.ActivityName'.
 Unfortunately, since sugar-launch apparently uses case-insensitive
 substring matching, this means that 'sugar-launch Pippy' and 'sugar-launch
 org.laptop.Pippy' both now launch the generated activity, not Pippy!  (It
 seems that sugar-launch also takes the first match, so you probably won't
 notice this until you upgrade Pippy after first saving an activity,
 causing the activity to match before the new Pippy.)

 A possibly related bug: if you install multiple versions of Pippy, it
 appears that only the older one ever gets launched.
