Support switching to different activities #74

It would be nice if Parachute could provide an overview of running activities as well, so I could use it to

  1. switch between activities
  2. move windows between activites

Activities management support for KWin scripts is not yet complete. When it is this can be an enhancement.

Slightly offtopic, but on latest Parachute version ( 0.9.1 ) and wayland, I have a kwin script that changes activities based on which virtualdesktop it is. Something like: ` var setActivity = function(activity) { callDBus("org.kde.ActivityManager", "/ActivityManager/Activities", "org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities", "SetCurrentActivity", activity, function() {}); };

var changeActivity = function() { if (workspace.currentDesktop == 1) return setActivity("23640271-fddc-4ea9-b462-11951441a153"); if (workspace.currentDesktop == 2) return setActivity("eac13d03-66ee-4822-9d40-fb093dd2bd4b"); [...........]

};

workspace.currentDesktopChanged.connect(changeActivity); `

The good thing is that Parachute works very well with this ( only issue is the wallpapers on the top bar ). But switching virtual desktops ( which also switches wallpapers ( switches activity )) works very well and its very smooth.

Even if this was a wayland-only function, I would love this.
