I found some more: 7 ways to switch activities http://hanschen.org/2011/05/15/7-ways-to-switch-activities/ Switching via mouse gestures rock ;) I also installed the Activity Manager plasmoid from source. Locks quite nice. I did not yet try this one Switch to specific activities with keyboard shortcuts http://hanschen.org/2011/05/20/switch-to-specific-activities-with-keyboard- shortcuts/ cause thats a bit cumbersone to configure. Thats one of the current shortcomings: Better ways to switch between activities. But now lets see what you make out of it. I hope to hear from your experiences. BTW for additional help you might want to ask on debian kde mailing list as well.
