Bug Description

Current situation:
Gallery app is already oepned, choosing a photo to add to a profile does not work. It doesn't take the user to the Gallery, instead remains in Contacts with a "loading" status always displayed. This may be because Gallery doesn't have a selection mode.

Desired solution:
When editing a photo goes to content picking/selection in Gallery regardless of whether Gallery is already running or not.

2 issues here:

1) content-hub using upstart-app-launch to invoke gallery. once version of upstart-app-launch in trunk lands this will prevent a second instance of gallery from being launched which is currently occuring. No fix necessary here.

2) if gallery is already running and is invoked in picker mode, it needs to save it's current view and return to it once picker mode/content transfer is complete or terminated. Currently the gallery exits after picking mode completes and it shouldn't. Rather it should revert to where it was prior.

- running
