I'm currently using 11.2 with latest updates (kdebase4-workspace-4.3.5-0.2.1.i586), running 4 virtual desktops and 6-8 applications on each desktop. After virtual desktop change, the applications get always resorted in random KDE bug way which is really frustrating. The bug is described very therally in the following KDE bug reports: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178032 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200255 Also the issue has been fixed in TRUNK (for KDE 4.5 i guess): http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1526/ Hopefully the fix can be backported to downstream and there will be a fix update for 11.2. Unfortunately there is no other workaround or solution for 11.2. I my opinion this bug really deserves mentioning on the http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.2#KDE page. My taskmanager settings: Grouping: Do Not Group Sorting: Do Not Sort Filters: [x] - Show tasks from the current desktop other filters are not selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure taskmanager as described in the details 2. rearrange taskbar items manually to match users needs 3. switch virtual desktop and manual rearrangement has been destroyed Actual Results: Using opensuse 11.2 with multiple desktop and setting taskbar not to sort or group items at all, results in an unusable desktop - all tasks are rearranged in a random way (when using multiple applications with identical taskbar title, things get extra bad). After each desktop change user has to figure out, which is the task, what the user needs. Expected Results: Taskbar items do not change order and position after virtual desktop change - the tasks should preserve the order of launching tasks (exactly like KDE3 and KDE4 pre 4.2). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
