Do you prefer virtual desktops or plasma activities? http://chakra-project.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Plasma_Desktop_Features Has some info for those who did not try activities yet. And isn't it the way that the decision only affects new users?, i.e. somebody moving from 11.4 to 12.1 with his .kde4-folder will not see any changes but only creating a new user will have different defaults than in 11.4? If the latter is true I would opt for activities simply because it's upstream default and new users should get the new stuff while old users will not be affected anyway when moving along their old configs.
+1 adding activities doesn't break any workflow that excludes them; nobody's forced to actually use activities, and they don't eat up resources and next to no disk space. i've tried using activities several times, and at this moment (KDE 4.7.2, KDF) they're usable, i.e., don't break the whole plasma configuration when playing around with them, as they used to earlier. there's still a lot of integration lacking, like sending applications to activities via keyboard shortcuts, windows behavior, or scripts, so i'll stick with virt. desktops for now, but in general i like the idea and see no point excluding the concept. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
