Jumping in as this is a very similar subject to the other one I was talking 
about on the rekonq mailinglist;

people use virtual desktops and activities to separate out their work into 
discrete sections.
Consider this usecase;  (not uncommon!)
A personal activity runs kmail while at work, a work activity runs rekonq with 
gmail for work emails.
The user clicks on a link in kmail to show a webpage that is clearly for his 
personal activity;  maybe a facebook link...

Current behavior is that on his work activity, on another virtual desktop, a 
tab is added next to his work gmail tab.

With this patch (if I understand correctly) the click in kmail, on his personal 
activity, opens a window in that same activity and on the same virtual desktop. 
  Which is much more predictable and in line with the concepts that both 
virtual desktops and activities promote.
ps. did you know you can suspend an activity and that quits all windows there?  
They save session and restarting the activity will restore that session.  
Consider this with the above suggested behavior.

Bottom line; if I understand this patch correctly, I like it!
