A new user failed to come up.

My other existing users started out with later-version kde4--I was playing 
with it since the very start, keeping them on kde3 until kde4 was stable.

Their logins have 6-7 activities, i.e. three "new activitiy"s and the 
templates, desktop icons, photos, search, etc.

Why I had so many? My .kde was been through it all including crashes, 
failures, loss of desktops, etc. Usually the thing healed itself after some 
logins or, for example, I got my kmail, qjackctl and nut-monitor icons back on 
my system tray after a plasma-desktop crash and restart.

The strip with all the activities, be they a handful or 20, is too big. And 
now that I have removed all but the two I am using so far, I do not need the 
whole screen width. Also, the meaning of the "transport" icons is not quite 
clear-- suppose when there are applications, they start or stop them.
