Activities have been reworked once again for KDE 4.6, so it appears to me its better to wait for KDE 4.6 instead of wasting complaints on an outdated version of the activity system that has been superseded already. I also find this activity stuff not quite intuitive. Sometimes it seems to be that the KDE developer themselves do not know at what to do with it. But then there have been some blog entries of Chani and I think another KDE developer about activities in KDE 4.6 and that stuff written there begins to make sense for me.
