that’s because between the time the scripting controls were put into place and 
now the way activities work changed. it is no longer managed by plasma-desktop 
but by kactivitymanagerd. this means that creating an “activity” with the 
scripting actually just creates a containment (which plasma-desktop will try 
to de-orphan into a new activity) ... this can cause problems.

for Plasma 2, the scripting needs updating to allow creation of activities 
properly as an API separate from the current API which is really for the 
creation and management of containments
