KDE 4.7's plasma is now centered around activities - breaking once more the way many of us work with KDE.
Can you be more specific in how this breaks existing setups?
It doesn't break anything for upgraded systems. But old users doing fresh installs, and who wish to use virtual desktops, would need to figure out how and where to increase the number of virtuel desktops in systemsettings.
That's a bug then (the pager hiding itself when there is no non-systemsettings way to add a new virtual desktop, and Desktop Grid is not assigned to a screen corner - let alone the non-composited case).
I'm afraid that'd be a challenge and "turn-off" even for many long-time users. 90% of users or so, never change any darn default setting. So the defaults need to be good.
Many on IRC voiced the oppinion that the activity manager shouldn't be part of the default plasma - including me.
Please give the reasons for those of us who were not party to the IRC discussion.
Many of the reasons were already mentioned in this thread.
I wanted to hear Coolo's take on it actually, since he's qualified to give a better description of the problems he has with Activities than "are annoying".
