 Joyride-2462. I'm not sure if the behaviour should just be that the
 Journal entry name is locked while an Activity is active, or (more
 complicated) that any name change made in the Journal should be auto
 pushed over to the open Activity. Example of current behaviour:

  1. Launch a Write activity
  1. Switch to the Journal
  1. Rename the "Write Activity" entry to "Lesson Plans"
  1. Switch back to Write (possibly work on stuff for a bit)
  1. Switch back to Journal
  1. Watch as the entry name gets overwritten again by "Write Activity"

 If you have a couple of Activities constantly open during the day, taking
 class notes perhaps, and happen to unsuspectingly rename them from Journal
 at some point in the workflow, you could well think you've lost all your
 work when you look back later for the entry name (when it was actually
 just set back to a default name, now buried with all the other default
 named entries).
