yep, having 2 ways to do the same thing is a common source of confusion indeed 
:/

and, is not that is the end of the world, is just that feeling that i have 
that logically separe the two things is a bit against the idea of the united 
workflow, and, somebody that never touched it with a thumbnail immediately 
understands how to get back to the activity screen, that button instead 
becomes a bit mysterious.

but if the need to access the activity screen reveals to be overwhelming more 
than the rest, having a button instead of the thumbnail here could be 
justified
