Comment:

 Confirmed with SoaS as well, since Strawberry (sugar 0.84)

 I found that if an activity is installed in ~/Activities, it may be
 updated or
 downgraded, even when there is an installation in
 /usr/share/sugar/activities.
 (So, copying the ActivityName.activity folder to ~/Activities directory is
 a work-around.)

 Besides version management coding, we need some more design ideas on
 keeping this
 from getting too confusing.
