Description mokush 2012-06-17 14:05:13 UTC

The currently running activity Id is not available to KWin scripts.

Also, there isn't a signal available for when switching to a different activity. (Right now, we can use currentDesktopChanged(), since it triggers when switching activity, but it's not optimal)

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
It would be handy to have a string property, in the Workspace, to hold the current activity, and a signal (maybe currentActivityChanged) similar to currentDesktopChanged, also on Workspace.
