[Sugar-devel] service_name and bundle_id... again

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Yes, all the affected activities are gtk2 activities.

We removed the code to support service_name in gtk3,
and did not affected the old activities until we ported sugar to gtk3.

About the comment you suggest, do we have any convention for this case?
