Were you suggesting to use resume as the default behaviour (as it currently is in Sugar) then after your first click, have something else pop up to click on if you want to change your mind (i.e. if you actually wanted 'start new')? Hmm, sounds rather tricky, especially on slow laptops with jumpy mouse cursors and young users. Also technical issues I think as I'm sure when you click, the Activity is being launched with either an existing activity ID to resume, or a new activity ID for a new session — don't think you can pullout of that part way through launching. > Good idea.

Just showing the name under the pulsing icon might be a useful extra, but ideally the launch time should be as short as possible so might look odd briefly flashing up the text (the pulse animation is meant to be a transition, just unfortunate that most startups are still more than a second or three).
