[Sugar-devel] UI experiments: pop-up menus and hot corners

If the user needs to choose case-by-case whether to launch new or
resume, if he wants to "resume" he can go to Journal (one click) and
launch from there (second click) -- whereas if he wants to launch new he
can go to Home, hover, and (one click) 'Start' in the existing palette.

For those users who consistently "resume" all the time, provide a
setting within the control panel to override the directly_on_Home_icon
first-click behavior (perform "launch new" vs. "show menu of resumes").
 If "frame" behavior can be specified by user, so should "home" behavior.
