Hi, thanks Fayaz and Clay.  sorry for the slow response, I was bogged
down in some stuff and didn't want to log out and try KDE until it was
done, but it took ages!

Back in KDE now, and I htink both of you are just suggesting I do what
I was already doing -- right-click on the desktop or click the
cachew-thing in the top right corner, then click one of hte "wrench"
buttons -- from what I've seen on the web there's supposed to be an
"activities" option once you open "Desktop Settings"  But I'm not
seeing anything like that -- see this image:

any hints?  Kubuntu-desktop is installed and uptodate, and I seem to
have everything else related to activities that I can find.  Is there
a command I can issue at the command line maybw?  Thanks again,

Matt
