in plasma1 the binding to activities is in the library, so doesn't have access 
to the private stuff of the plasma shell, otherwise it should somewhat wrap
PlasmaApp::createActivity()
Activity *desktopcorona::activity()
containment *Activity::containmentforscreen()

and *should* be it

in plasma2 the scripting support is all in the shell so should be easier
