I updated to 4.3.4 and found immediately that my desktop activities had decided 
to re-arrange themselves
again.  I went in to delete the rogue activity, but alas, even unlocked there 
is no RED X with which to
remove the spare activities that have spawned by themselves.  (Why is that so 
hard?)

Anyway, while playing around I noticed it was possible to individually set each 
desktop
to be a Plain Desktop.  This is in addition to the two prior choices of Folder 
view and Default.

With Plain Desktop Selected, you are finally back to what we had in KDE3 (and 
every
other desktop system) with the ability to put a wallpaper on each desktop and 
expect
it to stay.

Gone too is the Cashew, and widgets.  No loss in my opinion, I use 
applications, not having
found any of the dysfunctional widgets worth while.

But the news is the CHOICE of desktop type is PER desktop, so you can have it 
both ways.

I haven't had time to determine if this feature is as Stable as it looks. But 
it looks like a
years worth of bitching about activities finally paid out.
