What is your long term user interface goals?  Do you see the
modification to the GNOME 2 UI being a new "Activity Journal" entry in
"Accessories" as being the end?

* Do you expect users to launch this occasionally when they're looking
for something, or they keep it running?
* Have you given any thought to how this interacts with the file
picker, Nautilus, or the Places menu in GNOME 2?
* Have you looked at the GNOME 3 UI plans around files?

Random tech question:
* How does this affect resource consumption on the desktop - if I
don't ever launch Activity Journal, is Zeitgeist running?
