 Replying to [comment:4 mungewell]:
 > How does the browse activity notify the journal that a activity has
 downloaded? I'm guessing it sends a D.Bus message.

 No, the journal is listening for new entries in the DataStore and, among
 other things, install it if it's a bundle.

 check for new activities on start up. We would want to ensure that the
 remove+install/replace process didn't override a user's choice to
 [un-]favourite an activity.

 I would write a small python script that adds the activity to this json
 file: ~/.sugar/default/favorite_activities
