Yeah, I was thinking about and "Select Activity" is about the best I could come up with as well. Although, if the "activity browsing" interaction in this Show Activities/zoomed out mode was something other than click-and-drag then we could select activities based on system-wide selection setting (single-click or double-click). This would imply a relatively traditional browsing and selection mechanism in the Show Activities/Zoomed out mode, similar to say the icon view in Dolphin (which would also allow the use of the keyboard as well). There might be a slight transition problem though with the shift from the in-activity selection mechanism to this extra-activity selection mechanism... Just thinking out loud..
