In fact, the whole idea, in case of Sugar Activities, for Sugar Network
is that these Activities are located in the network. In contrast,
particular local machine might have local Sugar Activities, i.e.,
activities that exist in real directory in ~/Activities and need to be
managed by user manually.

Keeping in mind the favorites mode in Home view, we might have 3 icons
(instead of current 2 icons for favorites and list modes):

* favorites icon
  activities that are favorited, such activities might be local or from
  Sugar Network

* icon that represent local activities mode
  ~/Activities directory activate, users are responsible to manage them
  remove/change-the-code/etc

* icon that represent global activities mode
  activities come from Sugar Network

We already have icon (start) for favorites, so, we need icon that says
"local" and one that says "global".
