Er, I think you meant to say "windows are managed by Activities in 4.6"?

Anyhow, to elaborate on what I think you meant, you can use the
"Activities" submenu on the window title menu to change the activity
associations. Most applications behave quite nicely. One notable
exception is Firefox; if you have Firefox windows in different
activities, when Firefox is restarted (say, after all of those
activities have been stopped and then started again), all of the
windows will open in one activity. I don't know what the plans are for
this sort of thing, but overall, it works well already.
