All that is the plan of course, but it is SUCH a long way around to achieve what was already there in simple Desktops.
The part I found the funniest about the entire thread was the fact that I had activities (I guess since I installed kde4) and never even knew it until someone pointed out how to click the "cashew" and "zoom". I did that once, saw what was there (had to examine the shortcuts to find out how to get out) closed it down and haven't been back. I'm sure they serve some purpose for somebody, but I have never had a problem opening the app I wanted to use, managing its window(s) when it was open, and being smart enough to close it when I was finished. From what I can tell all that "Activities" are supposed to do for you is open up a regularly used set of apps all at once instead of you clicking the icon too start each app. I don't see the value in it. I mean what -- you can manage at most ~10 open apps and open windows at a time before you start wearing out the Alt+Tab keys, right? Where's the benefit in having entire sets of apps configured to open at once that you then have to manage and add apps to the set and remove apps from the set as apps change, are replaced, etc? -- David C.
