  this is what i think it will happen (in wayland and only in wayland)
  the virtual desktops from kwin become the "source" for activities, so they are kept in sync: 1 activity = 1 desktop (this will probably be configurable to be enabled or disabled) that's possible because a window can be in any subset of desktops now, just like it could be on any subset of activities on X11.
  So, if you want a window only shown on an activity, or a set of activities, you set it on those.
  If you want a window to be there but change its contents depending from the activities, you set it on all desktops and use the kactivities api just as before

  kactivitymanagerd will stay the same, just activities and virtual desktops would be the same set, any data, any stats, any linked files remain as now.
