or do you mean
2) 'from time to time all Dolphin windows are inserted in the _titlebar_ of

1) sounds like the taskbar entries filled the space available to them, so the
taskbar grouped the entries from the same app - middle click to expand
2) sounds like you would be using tabbed window-management (the Grouping entry
on the window (alt-f3) menu, but I need more details to understand the
problem. Please give steps to reproduce with a new user.
The look of the pager depends on the workspace theme. In the Air [openSUSE]
default theme, the pager widget in the panel highlights the active virtual
desktop with a brighter, larger specular highlight. The 'geek' desktop theme,
downloadable from kde-look.org with 'Get New Themes', has a no gradients, 1 px
black outline look and a shading effect only on the active desktop in the
pager.
Another thing you can do is enable 'Desktop Switch On-Screen Display' in the
virtual desktops->switching module to see the desktop number on switch.

1. From "time to time" it happens that after a restart all Dolphin-windowsI can't understand this statement. Windows don't have taskbars. Do you mean
are inserted into the taskbar of the last window.

2. How to find out efficiently on which virtual desktop you are on?
It seems that the virtual-desktop-button should show some blackness,
but either if the virtual desktop is empty or has a bit more windows
on it, that this becomes invisible. A solution could be to disable the
useless attempt of showing windows in the buttons, but I couldn't find yet
how to achieve that.
