    Desktop Activities vs Virtual Desktop

    So I've been doing some reading, and searching. Mostly through threads like: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1452935 And I still can't get my head around what a "Desktop Activity" is supposed to do that a Virtual Desktop can't do. They both seem like they're attempting to do the same thing, but are fighting to do it.

    So here are my questions:

    1. Does KDE assume all DA's are at the same screen resolution? In my dual monitor display I have one monitor at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 running as a single display of 3600x1080. But if it assumes DA's are all the same size then that would explain why I get screens like this: http://img268.imageshack.us/i/splitwtf.jpg/

    2. What is the intended use of mouse scroll in DA's? It seems like sometimes I scroll wheel and I switch desktops, and other times it actually scrolls the current VD up or down into blank space.

    All I'm trying to do is to configure three VD's such that I have different tools/backgrounds/widgets on each. (Even tried this: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9248#p19693 and it didn't do anything). Are there any resources to help explain the differences and how to actually USE this feature?

    Anyone? Does anyone even have a decent search term for this effect?
