What about when you attempt to populate
the UI for the first time?  You could at that point get the collection
of launch types and initialize the manager...  Just a thought - if
pattern matching is good for you then no worries.

I made a comment in the bug report you
entered - you should be keying on enabled activities, not active activities.

Unfortunately, the launch configuration type extension
point is managed in 
Debug Core, so we can't access the Workbench when we're loading the 
extensions.

This means we'll have to do the pattern matching ourselves. However, I
hit 
another problem while implementing this. The activity manager is returning
an 
empty set when I asked it for the active activity ids. In the "Activity
Configuration..." dialog, I have all activities set as active.
