This is my understanding. Say you work on development three days a week and 
documentation on two days a week. For each you want a different setup on your 
desktop (icons etc). You setup two activities (which might span multiple 
desktops) and then to swap between the two you just pull in the activity you 
require. 

Hope this helps.
