You misunderstood, I don't mind saving it in the config file, I don't understand the \
need to keep all those in memory.

For example, Bob has 20 activities, usually uses only 3 of them. Why would you want \
to keep the rest of the VD IDs in memory?

Just read the VD ID when necessary.

As you can see, we are not keeping anything that is saved to a config file in memory \
apart from the list of activities. The names, icons etc. are read from the config \
when needed.

current directory when switching activities.

The activity-changing-behavior is as follows:
1.  Say you have two (or more activities) A and B.
2.  You are working on activity A on Desktop 4.
3.  You switch to activity B (and by default to Desktop 4).
4.  Change to Desktop 1.
5.  Go back to activity A and (by default) to Desktop 1, while it should move you to \
Desktop 4 (this is where my patch kicks in).
