Comment:

 Just attached a mockup of a home view palette showing what it could look
 like if we revert the resume by default feature/design. "Start new"
 becomes the new default click (and top palette item); Activity favourite
 icons are always shown in grey; Alt key no longer used as new/resume
 toggle as the resume case has N potential items and the affordance is to
 reveal the secondary palette so you can see all available titles and
 activity icon colours (sorry Tomeu). If we decide to do this, I guess one
 nagging question from me is if the change should be 'back ported' to
 0.84-0.86. The home view for 0.84-0.86 was a considerable feature change
 from 0.82, if real deployments start using 0.84, it's going to be
 miserable to have this primary view change yet again for 0.88. I guess it
 depends on how many months it'll be before OLPC lockdown their next
 release, but this could be argued as a design regression needing patched
 (trusting that we are getting reliable/valid feedback on this point).
