Well, I sometimes also get the feeling that something globally is 
needed, for information and data that is used every day constantly, like 
a mailprogramm for example.
But i guess that this is just the pattern that we learned over the last 
time, that there is a desktop that always looks the same. And yes, in 
Plasma Active the dynamic change
of activities that suits your daily life is the new and radical idea here.

So i agree to Aaron that we should monitor and test the usage and see, 
whether the users are struggeling with that fact and try to create 
constant activities, that are used all the time...
