Do you imagine this feature could be tied in with Walter's suggestion for
having multiple home views (
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Multiple_home_views)? e.g. An
Activity launched from the school desktop being automatically tagged as
"public". Or do you think that would leave too many cases which aren't
fully and therefore confusingly covered?
