The .hidden file has its disadvantages: we don't have a way to browse
the source code of all the activities in Sugar, but GNOME can provide
that by letting you double-click on source files to open them in gedit.

Martin, is the deployment also worried about kids deleting activities
inside Sugar?  If so, it sounds like we want a general undeletable
flag set on ~/Activities/ (that the disk-full script can bypass).
Doesn't seem to be a way to achieve that, though.

- Chris.
