[sugar] [PATCH] Journal able to use "open with" for activity bundles

[Eben Eliason]

I'm confused, actually.  We already have "Start" as the first option
in the palette for "raw" activities, and as the action listed on the
button in the detail view.  What is the intent for the change being
discussed here?
