applications can be on more than one activity. :)
this is another reason I it'll be implemented as templates - the user creates 
it once, then tweaks the activity to fit their needs.

but yes, the "internet" activity doesn't make so much sense now that I think 
about it. I might make a "fun" activity that actually corresponds to "messing 
about on the internet", but "internet" itself is not the activity.

hmm. a "research project" template might come in handy... I wonder what that 
tends to have. a folderview for the project files, a note or two, a browser 
for googling, a set of bookmarks (we need a plasmoid for that - something that 
shows a subset of my bookmarks) ..

as for multimedia... hmm. I'd be more likely to create a "movies" activity, 
because not only can you not do work while you're watching a movie, but you 
probably also want to switch to presentation mode while you're there - no 
powersaving, no IM interruptions, etc. :)
