First of all, GTK2 activities should use sugar-toolkit, not sugar-toolkit-gtk3 .

So this is not a bug.  The 'service_name' is deprecated since six
years ago, in old Sugar v0.70.2.  I couldn't find release notes, but
that's what git log says.  When we did sugar-toolkit-gtk3 for the GTK3
port, we did a cleanup of deprecated API. Was about time.

By Sugar 0.84 - 0.86, all the core activities updated their activity.info .

In Sugar 0.90, deprecation warning messages were added:

I think these activities should just update their activity.info .
