[sugar] alt-tabbing to the Journal

Let me suggest that the situation where there are no Activities 
"open" does deserve a 'special case'.


If there are Activities "open", I would like to use alt-tab to 
switch among the places where I can interact, without passing 
through Journal.  And I do want to "one click in Home" (or use F4) 
to bring up the  most recent  "open" Activity I had visited.

But I do not want that "one click in Home" (or F4) to take me to 
Journal, when there is still any Activity "open".  [The alternative 
is to select from Frame (or use select or alt-tab in Journal) to go 
to the Activity I want - which requires me to multi-step.]


However, when there are no "open" Activities - why "waste" the 
location under the XO in Home View circle.  In this 'special case', 
do show the icon for Journal there.  [Maybe the Journal icon can be 
shown within a border, to distinguish it from an Activity icon.]
