Comment(by Quozl):

 Interesting, but ... the controls you are all suggesting (protecting or
 hiding) are also available with the user-id barrier.  Why not place the
 GNOME and Sugar environments in different usernames?  What use case is
 there for sharing files between the two environments that can't be
 satisfied by other means?

 Moving ''/home/olpc/Activities'' to some other location for the duration
 of a GNOME session should not create any significant delay or SD card
 writing.  Only one file, the directory, moves.  A move is not atomic,
 contrary to popular belief, but the ext3 journal should take care of power
 loss during move.  In ''olpc-session'' execution next time, the directory
 will have been either moved or not moved.
