Detailed explanation if you like/need it:

1. Right click the desktop->Activities
2. Click an Activity that is not loaded up (one with a little red x over it)
3. This newly chosen Activity will be automatically turned on and switched to.
4. Run some programs.
5. Right click the desktop->Activities
6. For one of the two Activities that you are now running, click the
black and white stop button
7. The same Activity icon should show a black and white play button
now, if you click it, the Activity will load back up with all the
previous running programs loaded up again


I suggest right clicking the desktop all the time to see your
Activities because I believe this option exists no matter what version
of KDE4 you are using.

It's also doesn't take this many steps to set up and use Activities,
but I just wanted you to see what you can do with them :)
