Hello all.

Pardon me for posting into devel list, but I am in a quandry and couldn't
figure out where else to go.

I am working intently on understanding Plasma and the functionality
that is present in the cashew...although to me it's more of a magic bean.
The reason I want to understand it is so that I can present a suitable
argument for why people should work with it rather
than call for its elimination/erradication and forking of KDE
...which to me is rather insane. 

However, in my bumbling about  I have managed to open 6 activities,
which seem to equate to the old fashioned multiple desktop metaphor 
with exception that you can drag widgets between desktops in realtime...Cool!
I think this sandbox has some very, very interesting possibilities.
I'm beginning to see the vision.

However, How can I close an activity?  This seems to be a mystery.

One thing I would like to see is to be able to zoom out and then hover over the activity
I want to zoom in on and just double click to maximize it. Heck I might like to double click it
and zoom it out as well. That would be a cool desktop.
