[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] copy-to-option in Journal (part of removing the keep button)

[Simon Schampijer]

I have now implemented everything like described below (4-7). The only 
thing I need is an icon for the clipboard option. Some icon ideas: the 
pin from the Physics activity, a paper clip (or is that too much Windows 
Word :). Patches, mockups...welcome! Go designers go!

Regards,
    Simon
