I'll let the activities guru answer properly on the previous part; however, the point is that if you never switched a profile manually you will not even feel the difference, as it's simply going to behave the same way. If you were doing such a thing, depending on why you were switching, you might need to create a new activity. > > Greetings > Stefan -- ------------------- Dario Freddi KDE Developer GPG Key Signature: 511A9A3B
