ah! ok, that's actually not related to activites .. hmm. if it gets put into 
the top level we'll have to come up with a better name for it. really it's the 
workspace form factor settings (and yes, in that screenshot the word "plasma" 
appears, it shouldn't and won't :)

improved searching would be great as a priority; a reorg could help (the 
general / advanced split is not good right now) but it should be done with 
testing. which makes it more difficult and with more effort put into it.
