Comment(by tch):

 Yes, Sugar already has a differentiation between user's activities and
 system activities, anything outside ~/ (apparently) it is consider an
 system activity. The problem with that solution is that you get duplicated
 activities (in the fs) while upgrading, wasting storage space.

 Changing the owner of the activity files also has problems because it does
 not let you upgrade the activity version.

 Even if there still some corner cases that i will solve, this solution
 does not waste storage space and it lets the user to upgrade the activity.
 Because it is a very simple and superficial solution that is all we should
 do, because users should have root access anyways, so there is no REAL way
 to avoid this happening, at the end of the day. :)
