[Sugar-devel] Removal of Activity Keep button

[James Simmons]

Simon,

I knew I did something to get rid of it.  I wonder if there is a way to
detect if a keep button is present and get rid of it if there is one.  It
seems to me I've done something similar in python.  Maybe trap an exception
and ignore it?
