When I create a new activity that activity is populated with my existing panels but not any of my installed widgets, they must be re-added individually to the new activity as best i can tell. Is there any way for all my widgets to be displayed on all my activities? Looking for a functionality similar to that for applications where in the title bar you have the option to select which activity(s) (or desktops) that app is displayed in.

thanks,

As far as I know you can't display the same widgets on all activities, but in 4.6 you can clone your current activity from the activity manager.
