Blocks? and bug 8090

[Greg Smith]

Hi Marco,

Reading the "Blocks?" bugs this morning: http://dev.laptop.org/report/29

I noticed that we can get a lot of them off the list if we can close or 
defer 8090.

Where are we with activity launching? Is it good enough and we have the 
main issues ironed out?

I see mention of "Eben's" patch in the bug. Is that in the latest joyride?

If its as fast or faster than 708 and we have no other serious issues 
(aside from 7876 which we will address separately), let's declare 
victory and come back to it in 9.1 as needed.

Thanks,

Greg S
