Thanks a lot, Myriam.  It took a long time to get familiar with 
Activities.  But now, I know how to use this feature, and it works 
actually well.

Unfortunately, there are some programs that cannot be limited to one 
single Activity, but occupy all of them.  An example of this bad 
behavior is the Opera browser.  It's a pity that it is unusable for 
people that work with Activities.

Best regards,
