Comment(by mtd):

 The only objection is due to the desire to have the journal be visible
 below the central XO a) on first boot; and b) if no other activity is
 started?  If we change nothing but take the journal out of the Alt-Tab
 cycle, we still get this behaviour.  What's the problem?

 I think the name of this ticket is unfair; the journal is already
 meaningfully different from other activities:

 1) it has its own key
 2) it has its own zoom level position in the frame (it always appears
 immediately to the right of the "Home" view)

 The only way it's "like an activity" then, is that

 3) it appears below the central XO man in the Frame if it's the active
 activity

 ...which is exactly (a subset of) the behaviour that's desired anyway!
