Encryption stuff in need of solutions

[Ivan Čukić]

Maybe I was a bit confusing.

What I meant was not to have an empty black containment when no
activity is active.

Just show a list of activities - the activity switcher (I wrote
manager the last time).

Once upon a time, we talked about having two levels in activity
switcher - the important ones in the wheel, and others in a grid. I
didn't like that idea, but a grid/list based dialogue for this could
be nice. (here, a wheel would be strange since it would need to cover
a whole screen)
