[sugar] alt-tabbing to the Journal

I'm in the "treat Journal as a View, not as an Activity" camp.
[In an Activity, I interact with something;  in Journal, as in Frame 
or in the other Views, I select something.]

Walter - If you look at keyhandler.py, you will see alt-shift-o 
being dedicated to invoke the Journal.


For myself, I use an external keyboard at home -- which provides 
neither a dedicated Frame key nor a dedicated Journal key.  So, in 
my customization upon build install, I go into keyhandler.py and 
define 'F5' as Frame and 'F8' as Journal.  Voila - single-key-access 
!!   [In the current implementation, Sugar uses neither F5 nor F8.]
