This change fixes a bug: journal is unable to do anything but "start" a bundle, even if you have an activity (Develop) which can handle the activity bundle mime type.<br><br>The immediate question is: should "start" be available only by pressing the button, or should it also be an option in the pulldown? I think that the answer is an obvious yes.<br>
<br>The longer term question is: should "start" always be the default for bundles, or should it be possible to have a bundle whose default action is "Develop"? However, discussion on this larger question should not block approving the immediate patch.<br>

I'm confused, actually. We already have "Start" as the first option<br>
in the palette for "raw" activities, and as the action listed on the<br>
button in the detail view. What is the intent for the change being<br>
discussed here?<br>
