I don't have any "Desktop Activities Settings" in the desktops context menu; 
only an "Activities ..." entry which pops up the Activities Manager (from 
which I can't do anything but create new unnamed activities) and a "Desktop 
Settings" from which I can select a wall paper and select the type of activity 
and give it a name, but I cannot *select* which activity to use..?

When I read about the features for 4.5 with the focus very much on Activities 
I found that it sounded unnecessarily complex but I didn't think that it would 
end up being less intuitive and less useful than 4.4 :-/
