Tim,

I'll let you deal with the TuxPaint issues.

I'll try to get Sora's favorites, and the one new activity Stopwatch.

I'll test Jerry's hypothesis that the q2119 wasn't signed properly by
substituting an official one. I'm out this evening. So whatever happens
will need to be in the next 4 hours.
