Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 We have some options to ameliorate the problem, with comments

  * Split Gnome and Sugar sessions to different users. Complex, complicates
 sharing documents later.
  * ~/.hidden - simple, limited.
  * mv ~/Activities elsewhere during Gnome sessions. If we mv it to
 .Activities, it's effectively equivalent to a .hidden file.
  * chattr +i or chmod 0000 ~/Activities immutable/readonly during Gnome
 sessions. This is only effective if we do it recursively. chattr requires
 root (while olpc-session runs as olpc).
