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.
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.
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.
