Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2013-02-25 06:26:52 UTC 
The world will not be dominated only by KDE. We will need to accommodate other applications (Chromium, ThunderBird etc) also.

Currently, these non-kde applications are not aware of activities and thus you see them on all the activities.

This is a wishlist bug with just a random idea. Maybe you could execute these non-kde applications inside a kde enabling wrapper to make them activities aware. It doesn't solve the real problem, but still stands as a neat hack for the interim.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run non-kde applications
2. Switch in between activities
3.
Actual Results:  
Non-KDE apps show on all activities

Expected Results:  
Associate apps to their respective activities.

Actually, shouldn't this issue be closed? I'm finding non-kde applications seem to be able to be assigned to specific activities and this does work.
