Comment(by mstone):

 These patches look promising to me and I'll be happy to help you iron out
 the wrinkles some other morning or evening. One suggestion in the mean-
 time: in addition to popping up a window, it's really important to the
 overall interaction design that we make a journal entry containing the
 activity's log file when activity launches fail because we can then bring
 existing tools into play in order to get that log file home. Might you be
 willing to write up a third patch containing this extension for me to test
 while I've got this stuff paged in to my head?

 Lastly, regarding segfaults: take a look at #1123. I mention it because
 alsroot's patches in it caught my eye when I looked at the history of the
 activityfactory code that you're modifying.
