Recently i took a look at tumbleweed and milestone 42.1. I discovered that all virtual desktops are always identical.

If change a wallpaper on one of the desktops all desktops change to the chosen wallpaper. Where is the setting to have different wallpapers on each desktop ?

If i set the desktop to folderview and change "desktopsettings-location-specify a folder" the desktopfolder, it is always the same for all desktops. So also the icons and widgets are for all desktops identical.

Is this a known omission or is it still in the pipeline ? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343246 I've just discovered that the functionality of virtual-desktops is also in activities and available in tumbleweed and milestone42. I can give each activity a different wallpaper,switch each activity to folderview and give each activite its own desktop directory. Now all desktops (read activities) can be complete different.

The only difference i can find is virtualdesktops have a pager available and activities have not. If we can get a pager for activities, i think we don't need virtualdesktops anymore.

Simply switch to activities was a good advice !!! Everthing is moved now to 4 activities in folderview mode and is identical to my previous virtualdesktop setup. I only mis te eyecandy (the cube animation). The only terrible thing is the widget "activity bar". Its ugly and consumes one third of my taskbar (4 activities), it has a reaction time of about 0.5 sec after multiple clicks. This bad.
