Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:1512 FGrose]:
 > This behavior in the Journal is inconsistent with other 'installed'
 Activities, which are erased (un-installed) with a warning dialog from the
 Home list view.

  I agree with this. In the practice it gets very confusing for everyone,
 mostly because there is no warning at all.

  I really do not share the idea of bounding the installed activity with
 the bundle that it was used for "installing". In the practice (again) the
 current behavior just produces an unnecessary storage space waste (mostly
 because there could be many bundles in the journal for the same activity).

 The solution I found for this issue is jut not to delete de installed
 version. Please see the attachment.
