[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] Start filtered activity with keyboard

[Gonzalo Odiard]

I can't reach to a agreement with Simon about how display to the user he
can start the activity selected.
If anybody have a good idea is welcomed.
I think starting the filtered activity is a good think to have,
but without resolving this issue, does not have sense spending more time on
this.
