i don't think there is in kwin; what would be great is if kwin could be 
notified about these changes or at least check (if it doesn't already) 
whenever the current activity changes. that would still mean the window would  
not "disappear" from the current activity until an activity switch though .. 
hm .. yes, i think we really need some sort of DBUS API in kwin for this, 
something like:

setWindowActivities(qlonglong winId, const QStringList &activities)

Martin: what do you think about something like that for kwin? attached is a 
sketch patch that implements the idea (or would if i could figure out how to 
get the Client* for a given window id ... see the "something()" call in 
setRelatedWindowActivities to see where i'm stuck ;)
