they look pretty :)

now, what if $plasmoid wants to use the icon (eg, activity bar)? what if 
$application wants to use the icon (eg. when associating something with an 
activity)? it'd be nice if I could see the icons when assigning windows to 
activities, but I dunno if that'd be possible with autogenerated ones...

can users still choose any arbitrary icon they like?

really, the sort of activities the user has is likely to depend on what the 
user does in his/her life :) me, I'll have activities for kwin, plasma, 
odfkit, etc... plus various courses, and one for fun. rrix has activities for 
fedora, plasma, and a dozen other things I forget. activities are a rather 
personal thing...
