I am happy to read that.

And I second it: I use activies myself. On the laptop with one screen and 
one the workstation at works in two screens. There I have a special 
advantage:

I have some apps like mail and KDE telepathy and so on open on all apps, 
they are on the left screen usually. And on the right screen I have the 
task specific stuff.

Only think I had sometimes, but its a longer time since I last had it, 
that after a reboot, logout, relog all windows from all activies appeared 
on just one activity, so it lost the assignment. And this is tedious to 
clean up.

Thank you to all the developers working on Plasma and working on 
activities. I appreciate it.

Ciao,
