Yes, I have activity manager in world, but I've unmasked all kde packages for version 4.8.1 and because of that, I can't get activitymanager installed because the latest verion for that is only 4.7.4 and I get told kactivities-4.8.1 blocks activitymanager..  I can get into KDE after my upgrade, but I can't move windows around, nor close or resize them.  So I assume activitymanager is somehow needed.
