+1, I wonder if they could be plugins? (like the "default panel" template) :) 
then "what they should be" can be solved by teh interwebs ;) we could just 
provide a few, like 'games' and 'photos'... heck, maybe you don't need to 
*start* applications, just put launcher icons for them on the desktop... then 
the activity template is just another plasma template :) and that's something 
we had planned but I only got halfway through it.

if you wanted something more complex in a template, like opening certain irc 
channels, then... hrm. not sure how you'd do that. some nepomuk magic maybe? 
if the application in question uses nepomuk. in fact, that seems like a use 
case for why apps should store such things in nepomuk instead of in their 
private config files :)
