At the request of OLPC AU (in an effort to reduce OOM freezes) this patch uses gconf to set a maximum number of open activities [1]. An alert is shown if the user tries to launch more activities than the maximum asking them to close an activity before opening a new one. If maximum_number_of_open_activites is not set or == 0, then there is no maximum limit applied. Further, Some activities don't behave well if more than one instance is open (e.g., SL #4554). This patch sets a limit on the number open instances of an activity based on a new field in activity.info: single_instance. If and only if single_instance = yes in activity.info, is it used to limit open instances to a single instance. NOTE: there is a patch to activitybundle.py in the toolkit necessary for this patch to be used. [1] /desktop/sugar/maximum_number_of_open_activities
