We've concluded that CursorShape, Font and Palette shall be always
active when they are referenced. Therefore, if you look at the
semantics of InitiallyActive of them, it clearly says that they are
always active. By the activation behavior of Group, it guarantees
that all of them are active and their RunningStatus' are always true
after activation of Group, because InitiallyActive is always set to
True.
