@Vivek: One of the planned features will be handling activity based sessions – set of applications that are automatically started when an activity is … for the lack of a better word … activated.

I hope will have some whitepaper about all planned features soon.

I don’t know the right place for this, but this post and the Concentrate activity link made me think of something in KDE that sort of does this already, and should maybe be left open to integrate with activities in the future.

The Power Applet lets you launch programs (and I suppose scripts?) when switching power profiles. So for example, when I set my laptop to “Music” (turn screen off quickly, don’t auto turn off, don’t sleep when lid is closed), the applet also launches Amarok for me.

Just a thought.

@Carlos Cordoba: Interesting application. Although I’m not that impressed by the UI.

Please take a look at the Concentrate app for OS X.

It has a pretty simple and straight forward way to define activities, but yet very powerful.
