           Summary: Desktop --> Multiple Desktop should have similar
                    configuration capabilities as Pager Plasmoid
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: sourtooth+ssbugs@...
        ReportedBy: Ben.Kevan@...


Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I actually consider this a regression (bug) and not a feature request as there
is lost functionality.

I recently switched form GNOME to KDE (previously I was a KDE 3.5.10 user)..

I went to configure "Multiple Desktops" with the KWin Compositing and was all
happy.. Except I wanted 1 row of desktops with 4 desktops.

I went into systemsettings --> Desktop --> Multiple Desktops, and the
configuration was not there..

I later found out I had to setup the pager plasmoid (which I previously removed
since I use the Kwin effects to change, and do not rely on the pager usage).
However, I had to add the pager plasmoid to configure my multiple desktops to
my configuration noted above.

I then removed the panel plasmoid, and again my configurations were lost.

It seems barbaric that to configure multiple desktops to my liking (and keep
these settings) I am required to have the pager plasmoid running somewhere.
These configurations should be set within systemsettings --> Desktop -->
Multiple Desktops and should be configurable by both systemsettings and the
pager plasmoid not by ONLY one or the other.

In previous versions of KDE3 this was available within both.

For KDE 4.4. it is planned to have the number of rows settings in the multiple
desktop kcm. It is actually added but requires some work in Plasma.
Unfortunately the relevant specification requires that the layout is set by the
pager and not by the window manager. So even if the option is moved to multiple
desktop kcm you will need the pager plasmoid.

Are you talking about the "Desktop grid" effect? You can configure the layout
to use: 1. the pager 2. "automatic" 3. personalized.

David,

That's the point, you're "required" to have the pager plasmoid, which shouldn't
be a requirement for kcm style features (ie they were in kcm along with pager
in KDE 3). I understand that work between kcm / plasmoids is currently
underway.

Anyway.. I'm talking about any "workspace" layout, and not just the desktop
grid. The same configuration is true with "Desktop Cube" along with the
"Desktop Grid".
