-	~~TBD~~	+	Actman (Activity Manager) works by:
		+	- dumping (on store) and restoring gconf entries for each activity.
		+	- copying (on store) and pasting (on switching/restore)the contents of $HOME/.config/hildon-desktop/home.plugins.
		+	- copying (on store) and pasting (on switching/restore) the contents of $HOME/.bookmarks/home-thumbnails.
		+	- killing hildon-home whenever the user decides to change their activities.
		+
		+	Such gconf that are dumped and restored are:
		+	- appletbase (widgets and shortcuts for each home screen and their positions)
		+	- viewsbase (the amount of home screens the user has and the background images for each home screens)
		+	- hildon-home (bookmarks and shortcuts the user has for this particular activity)
		+	- contacts (contacts that the user has placed on the home screens)
		+
		+	Individual files and directories are copied and pasted such as:
		+	- homeplugins (widgets used)
		+	- thumbnails (bookmarks to web pages the user has for this particular activity)
		+
		+	In addition to what it does above, actman allows users to place scripts to be executed before and/or after the switch across to this activity, it also allows cloning of activities, restoring without saving changes, renaming as well as listing of the activities already stored.
		+
		+	These activies are usually stored in ~/.activities/activities/<name_of_activity_the_user_chooses_to_name>/. The only exception is the root user and in almost all cases ~ would be /home/user (unless one decides to login through another username for instance).
