The original issue, is that Tux Paint is not Sugar activity at all,
and is not folowing Sugar Journal methaphor. The initial Journal
support was, well.. not completed. For example, there are buttons New,
Load, Save.

That was not obvious for me what to do with these buttons (they are
useful somehow). Though, there is an ongoing process for removing
Load/Save buttons (there was a request from .uy).

Eventually, I think would be better to:

* remove Save button (sugar doesn't have it and even Keep button
  was removed),
* Open and New functionality seems to be useful, would be useful to have
  Open/New (or New/Open) dialog popped up on creating new activity
  instance

i.e., Tux Paint will behave like regular activity but preserving useful
features like Load/New.
