Historically, this has nothing to do with that, and nothing to do with the KDE usage of the word activities. Activities was just chosen as a term to cover "things you might want to interact with next" * Windows you have open * Workspaces * Applications * Your documents [since removed] There's a pretty high bar for changing this - you'd invalidate a lot of user experience, a lot of existing documentation/search results on the internet. Is there really a significantly more meaningful word to refer to "windows and workspaces and applications"?
