In another thread there is talk of using virtual desktops per Activity, which 
is an idea that I had been wondering why it hadn't been that way from the 
beginning.

I think the best outcome would be to find a way to do these two complimentary. 
I don't like the Idea that a desktop and and sugar are mutually exclusive.   
Simply clicking on an activity in sugar and getting a traditional desktop 
would work for those that want it.  A Windowsy theme and Wine may even 
satisfy those with urges leaning in that direction.
