I like the idea of Activities but I couldn't find a real use for them until 
now but i can't use the way it makes sense to me.  Its been discussed on 
another thread but i'll copy my thoughts here.
I have 3 activities namely work, personal and mailing lists each using 
different email addresses.  At the moment i've separated them by creating 3 
KDE users so i have to login and out of each of them to use each activity.
I saw a possibility of activities allowing me to have only one KDE login and 3 
separate activities. Within each activity i'd have an instance of 
kontact/kmail configured for the correct email addresses/contacts etc so it 
was just a matter of changing activity instead of logging in and out a few 
times. 
As each activitiry can't have separate instances of programs each with their 
own configuration I don't really see its useful to me without being overkill.
