I upgraded from 760. When I look the activities are
in /home/olpc/Activities except fot this strangeness:
1. In the directory there is a Calculate as well as a Calc activity with
the same icon. Calc does not run correctly.
2. There is another Journal Activity in that directory as well as in
the /usr/share/sugar/activities directory.

What does that mean?
