I thought there was a bug with the current implementation that has  
slipped this release cycle. I understood the Frame was to reveal and  
then as you alt-tabbed you could see the focus move between the  
Activity instances (i.e. no switching has yet happened), and when you  
finally release the alt key (on the instance you are really after, not  
the Journal ;-b ), that instance is then focused.

I agree if you are just tabbing between 2 instances the frame reveal  
is an unnecessary burden, but with 3 activities you'll probably be  
focusing on something you don't want 50% of the time (at least most  
kids will). More than 3 and you really are just ploughing the XO  
through a heap of Activity redraws.

I couldn't find the original trac ticket for this, anyone remember  
(wanted to go see where dev stalled)?
