 I upgraded to candidate-765 from build 650 and forgot I had no activities.
 I copied a PDF and .odt file from USB flash drive to the journal.  I can
 hover over the icon and a menu appears with Start; and I can click (>) for
 more details then click the [>] Start menu item.  But these do nothing.

 The JournalActivity log contains "WARNING: root: No activity can open this
 object, ''application/pdf''" or ''application/vnd.oasis...''.  I think the
 Journal should show some kind of warning, or better it should disable the
 Start menu item and replace its hover dropdown with "Start (no installed
 activity can open this)".
