 + "Activities" haven't seemed to pan out for KDE.  Why would they in Emacs? :: 
KDE Plasma's Activities system requires applications that can save and restore 
their state through Plasma, which only (or mostly only?) KDE apps can do, 
limiting the usefulness of the system.  However, Emacs offers a coherent 
environment, similar to Lisp machines of yore, and its ~bookmark~ library 
offers a way for any buffer's major mode to save and restore state, if 
implemented (which many already are).
 
++ Why did a buffer not restore correctly? :: Most likely because that buffer's 
major mode does not support Emacs bookmarks (which ~activity~ uses internally 
to save and restore buffer state).  But many, if not most, major modes do; and 
for those that don't, implementing such support is usually trivial (and thereby 
benefits Emacs as a whole, not just ~activity~).  So contact the major mode's 
maintainer and ask that ~bookmark~ support be implemented.
+
 + Why did I get an error? :: Because ~activity~ is at an early stage of 
development and some of these features are not simple to implement.  But it's 
based on Burly, which has already been through much bug-fixing, so it should 
proceed smoothly.  Please report any bugs you find.
