--- Comment #459 from Olivier BELLEUX <o.g.m.bell...@gmail.com> --- I never understood what the activities were for or how they differed from a virtual desktop. The concept is wrong from the start. If you look at a dictionary for "activité": (Yes, I'm French...) - [Larousse](https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/activité/947) 1) A set of phenomena by which certain forms of life, a process, a functioning are manifested: Physical activity, intellectual activity. 2) Faculty, power to act; manifestation of this faculty: A man overflowing with activity. - [dictionary.lerobert](https://dictionnaire.lerobert.com/definition/activite) 1) (THINGS) The faculty or fact of acting. The activity of a drug. - A volcano in activity. ➙ action. 2) Coordinated acts and works of human origin. Physical activity. The industrial activity of a region. - PLURAL The activities of sb. ➙ occupation. 3) The quality of an active person. To show great activity. 4) Situation of a person (ESPECIALLY a military person) who is exercising his employment (as opposed to retirement, availability). An activity is not a place on which to place windows or widgets or wallpaper… That's a desktop! The concept of "activity" would be interesting if it were rather a tool allowing to save a particular state of a work session and to come back to it later, i.e. to save the windows, widgets and wallpapers at a given moment in a database and to allow, via a graphic interface (a dashboard) to consult the list of saved activities, the various existing snapshots and to choose one of them to reopen it and resume from this state of the user session. To be more synthetic: 1) turn on the computer 2) login + password = connection to the user account with the default activity 3) open the activity dashboard and choose the "photography" activity 4) work on you holidays photos... 5) open the activities dashboard and choose the activity "contribute to kde", reopen the session of 2014-11-21. 6) reply to bug 341143. 7) open the activity dashboard and choose the activity "play 0ad 8) turn off the computer and go to sleep This is just an idea that popped into my head, so I'll just give it to you as it comes.
