I am thinkging to have something similar in the regular switcher as well.

I would like to have it based (kinda was discussed a few years ago on some 
tokamak) on whether the activity was running or not, not by adding another 
property. Show only the running ones by default, and... blah blah blah.

Other than that, I don't see much of a purpose of activity starting/stopping. 
(i don't use session stuff, memory usage was a side-effect of the plasma's 
design to load all the activities in memory... imo, it would be better to load 
on switch - will make it a bit slower, but will improve the startup time).

Ch

p.s. I'd kill the activity bar, but that's only my 'die die die' philosophy :)
