+1

I had no idea about that hidden checkbox, and without it enabled, the  
save dialogs are annoying as hell (in particular because they still  
lack a quit-without-saving button).

It's a bit cumbersome to make a new instance though. Maybe alt-click  
could do that for advanced users?

And it's unfortunate the activity icons change their position in the  
ring, the activities with journal entries seem to sort before the ones  
without.
