My new and shiny KDE 4.7 has a red- blue-green button on the toolbar that brings me into something called "Activities". Can someone explain to an old geezer what "Activities" are good for? The kde.org website contain a fair bit of explanation on how to set up activities but I couldn't find anything about the rationale behind the concept. What do activities bring to the table that virtual desktops don't? Or am I missing the point completely? -- r. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
