Desktop Activity Manager 0.8.0-1
Desktop activity manager
Desktop activity manager (actman) is a status menu applet that allows the user
to have multiple activities (a'la KDE's plasma). An activity is the set of all
desktop widgets, bookmarks and icons along with the background.
For example, it is possible to have an activity named "car" where the
desktop is customized to be easily accessible while driving without
having many icons. Then another activity named "games" to include shortcuts
to games. Then another activity named "clean" without any widgets on the
desktop in order to conserve battery.
Desktop activity manager comes along with a command-line tool
(/usr/bin/activity) that can be used by other applications, scripts or
automations in order to handle desktop activities.

Can you tell me such a widget? I'm using it to save and restore a number of widgets including "Desktop Command Execution", "Dataplan Monitor", "Foreca", "Nameday", "Easy FM Transmitter" and others, without having such a problem.
Can you clarify what you're saying? For example, when creating a new activity, it becomes the current one.
If not, I'd like a list of desktop widgets that you're using in order to test it myself.
There's a little bug: when I create a new activity, non-system widget are not saved and not displayed when switchin to that activity. I've managed to create an activity including all the widgets only after many tries. I think that this is a blocker, because it does not provide all the claimed features.
Bug was present even in previous releases, sorry for notifying it only now.
