A python activity using the Sugar API does nothing, the save() method
will be called as required.

The rest of the activities would use
http://www.xfree.org/current/xsmp.pdf to note when are expected to
save their data, hopefully using a wrapper around the protocol like
the one in GNOME:

I think that Freedesktop people are moving to a D-Bus based protocol,
but don't the status of it.
