In Sugar, when you download an Activity, it shows up both in the Journal 
and on the Launcher basically immediately -- but that's because it shows 
up, I think, in the user's homedir.  Activities can run either from the 
systemwide activity space -- which is where RPM puts them -- or the local 
user space, which is where the activity goes when a user downloads it.

Not sure I've answered your question though, heh.
