A bit more clarity would help. What is a KDE activity?

@Tshepang, that doesn't require clarity, it requires knowledge of kde4. here you go simply know something about why kde4 isnt' kde3 and you probably have run into activities. intoxicat[ed|ing] replies ftw!

oh... um... try this. it's like this concept that's fleshed out... but isn't yet intuitive, and yet you're trying to use it intuitively

Ok first you want to open your activities (SUPER ( Windows )+Q) unlock widgets, and create at least one other activity. Make sure that more than one of the activities are not stopped (e.g. red X).
*(note: Remember the activity that is highlighted is the currently active one, and according to aseigo only one can be active at a time, though I haven't found this to be exactly true.)
Now right click on the title bar of the window you want to associate with an activity. Go to Activities, and select the activity you want it to be associated with. Please note this dialog is only present if the there are other activites in "not stopped state:" if you stop all but one it won't show the activities dialog. Stopped activities are not shown in this dialog.
note: only works in 4.6 (or later? activities have changed much over kde 4's lifetime, I actually don't know if they'll work this way in 4.7, I honestly hope they don't, this is not intuitive)

Aha, I misread your question. I thought that you want to associate the application permanently, not just move a window into another activity.

What I don't understand is when it actually starts that application if you, say, logout and start the activity again. Sometimes it starts some applications, like gwenview for photos, but KDE won't start Sublime Text in my programming activity.
