How does one delete an activity? Or, rearrange it, for that matter?

I woke up today just to find out that 2 activities were completely erased from my system, and I have to set them up again. The problem is, I cannot put them in the order I need..

Also, switching from an activity to another seems to reset the custom icon placement on the desktops that have the folder views, so it's not really that customizable after all.

I'm using the brand new 4.2 KDE in Ubuntu 8.10. Since these features are quite important for me, do you think it's worth installing a different distribution?

Thanks in advance.

Not for that problem at least. It seems to be a general bug, since I get the same thing on OpenSUSE 11.1.

Yep, I just found out: I installed SUSE.

Like others, I regret this. If I set one activity for leisure use, I don't want to switch to it in my lunchbreak and see the panel full of the work I was doing before lunch. I want one activity to show a panel for everything in that activity, and nothing else. To me, nothing else makes sense.

I have to agree with you. It seems logical to me to confine windows used in an activity to that activity. ie. say we have "Video Edit" activity and a "Newsletter" activity. If we have a video running in "Video Edit" and we switch to "Newletter" containing DTP and image windows it is inappropriate to also find the unrelated video window.
