I'd say partial. you can zoom and switch activities with the mouse or 
keyboard, you can add activities, and you can even remove them sometimes.

what we don't have is a way to change the keyboard shortcuts (or even discover 
half of them), a way to change the containment plugin (if you want 
blankdesktop you have to edit your config file by hand), or some other fancy 
zui stuff that might show up someday.

stuff that people probably won't find out themselves:
to remove an activity, you have to zoom out, make sure it's not the current 
activity, then right-click and you'll get a remove option.
keyboard shoutcuts:
add widgets	ctrl-a
lock widgets	ctrl-l
zoom out		ctrl--
zoom in		ctrl-=
next applet	ctrl-n
prev applet	ctrl-p
next containment	ctrl-]
prev containment	ctrl-[
applet settings	ctrl-s
containment settings	shift-ctrl-s
remove applet	ctrl-r

keyboard shortcuts won't work on the panel until 4.2 (changes in kwin are 
needed). there's also a qt issue that makes keyboard focus not update 
properly sometimes when you click things.
