Its a bit difficult to grasp the concepts and differences between virtual desktops versus activies. I found the excellent blog of Chani, who develops on KDE activities as well, very help ful in understand activities. For example:{December 26, 2010} Activity-oriented vs Application-oriented workspaces http://chani.wordpress.com/ were she describes the differences between GNOME 3 and KDE in that regard or her screen casts like {December 18, 2010} Activities 4.6 screencast http://chani.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/activities-4-6-screencast/ or {January 9, 2011} Activities in Action http://chani.wordpress.com/category/activities/ I also darkly remember a blog entry of her or someone else that explains the difference between activities and virtual desktops in a really clear way. Lets see whether I find that one. Ok, it might have been that one: The Rise of Plasma Activities and What it can do for You http://yuenhoe.com/blog/2011/01/the-rise-of-plasma-activities-and-what-it- can-do-for-you/ of Jason "moofang" Lim Yuen Hoe. Yes, thats it. I found it through Activities – A change in workflow? http://hanschen.org/2011/02/04/activities-a-change-in-workflow/
Thanks - very useful and I think I understand activities now. Very useful concept for me - and one which makes it worthwhile for me to stick back with KDE for a while. Sorry Gnome3 - I liked your concept, but this just a lot better.
