Thinking about the "a-containment-per-virtual-desktop mode", I feel like I use that feature as a substitute for the missing ability of having nepomuk tied activities.  I'd think once you have activities proper this feature will seem (and feel) redundant.  Maybe the better option would be to simply remove the "a-containment-per-virtual-desktop mode" once activities are done?

Another major benefit from this feature is the easy switching between different containments.  I am sure there are better ways to switch containments then having virtual desktops tied to containments, so I doubt this is any reason to retain them.
