 The Journal cannot display entries with null/empty/no title on a USB
 stick.  Unnamed entries can be copied to them; just not
 restored/edited/etc. from them.

 This is a regression since 802 seems to support this {and 802 untitled
 items do get upgraded to have 10.1.3 metadata; it's just the GUI that is
 broken}.  However cross-version testing is not required to reproduce this
 issue.


 Reproduction:

  1. Create a Write or Paint document.  Set the Activity's title to be a
 completely empty string (with no whitespace either) before quitting/saving
 the entry.

  2. The entry from #1 should appear in the Journal with a title like
 "Untitled" {or otherwise appropriately translated}.

  3. Copy this entry to a USB stick.  You will get a ".odt" or ".png" file
 literally named such in the root directory.  If there already is one, you
 will get ".png_1", ".png_2", etc. entries.

  4. Look at the USB stick.  If it has a recent 10.1.3 build the .Sugar-
 Metadata area will have ".odt.{metadata|preview}" or
 ".png.{metadata|preview}" as appropriate.  However the Sugar Journal's
 view of the USB stick will miss the file from Step #1 as if it doesn't
 exist.
