There are a number of solutions. We can apply one or more of these:

1) Martin Abente wrote a patch for Sugar lets you configure a set of
activities which cannot be deleted;

2) The activity updater in 0.84 can restore deleted activities. If the
schoolserver is caching downloaded bundles, it takes just a few seconds.

3) Moving the activities to /usr/share/sugar/activities/ prevents the
users from deleting them. On update, a new copy will appear in the home

4) In sugar 0.88, there's no longer a "Delete" menu in the favorites
view, which prevents accidental deletion.

I think (4) + (2) would work well in practice, but we need to do some
work to restore lost functionality in the Sugar 0.88 updater.

There's also a social problem that can't be solved with technical means:
kids sometimes *intentionally* delete activities to make room for music,
videos and games.

This is the technological equivalent of a kid scribbling on a textbook
or breaking the pencil. The solution may also be the same: ask children
to take good care of their student tools.
