> The activities.defaults config file, like any other Sugar config file,

> Maybe a /etc/sugar directory would be useful.

> Another approach would be to have the default files at /var/lib/sugar/
> (/usr files are not supposed to be modifiable at runtime), and if a
> /etc/sugar/ file with the same name exists, use that one instead.

Comment:

 we can move activities.defaults to gconf registry,
 * one key for all favorite activities
 * per activity keys with favorite flag
