 Sugar has a list of activities that are automatically added to favourites.

  * sugar:data/activities.defaults

 Downstream projects such as OLPC replace this file during image build, so
 that certain activities included in the build are marked as favourites.

 But in other downstream projects such as Debian, Ubuntu, and possibly some
 others, the independent user experience is somewhat unpredictable: when an
 activity is installed from package repositories, it may or may not appear
 in favourites, depending on the defaults file.

 Sugar should always add newly installed activities to favourites, with the
 exception of Terminal and Log; e.g. using a file that describes activities
 that should ''not'' be added to favourites on install.
