Bug Description
Whenever I start kde-4.5, the activity selector will display lots of junk activities. The names of these range from "Start" (my regular search&execute activity is also named "Start") to "unnamed". These activities usually seem to be newspaper-
When I delete them, they will reappear upon next start of KDE.
Such unwanted activities will also still appear after deleting .kde/share/

plasma-desktop just exited in a possibly unrelated crash. After starting it again from the commandline, I get even more activities, all also called "Start". They all seem to be empty newspaper activities. The "unnamed" activity mentioned earlier is a search&exec one. One of the "Start" thingies seemed to be a duplicate of my real "News" newspaper activity.
It is a bit difficult to measure the exact configuration of each activity, because apparently the activity selector is easily confused by switching between them. The first time I tried to display the activities in a row, it worked fine and they were shown on the desktop. Now, upon clicking them in the selector, the desktop will show the empty newspaper for *all* of my activities, even for those which were correct.
This is using kde-4.5 from kubuntu- ppa/backports.
