I meant to say they may be workable in 4.4
Activities are a huge nuisance in 4.3.0.
You think you have one per desktop, only to zoom out and find 4 or 6 or 20. Most with no big Red X to close them.
Its just maddening trying to control activities. I've taken to backing up all ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* files simply because its faster than starting from scratch.
Hmmmm... I wonder what's different then between your setup and mine. I've not /yet/ noticed any of the old issues with Workspaces since I did a *clean* install of 4.3. That might be the key there. I did incremental updates from 4.0.3 to 4.3 and had a real disaster... to the point I was about ready to give up some days - intensely frustrating at times to say the least. Then after dropping in a new hard drive, I decided to do a full reinstall with a completely clean KDE4.3 setup. That made a huge difference. When I say clean, I mean totally clean. Install 11.1, upgrade immediately using the One-Click to 4.3. Log out, wipe my home directory completely (I have all the important stuff backed up elsewhere). On logging back in, the system is forced to completely rebuild my /home as if I'm a new user... so no cruft left over in /home from previous generations of KDE4, and no incompatible bits and bobs in the root either. KDE4.3 is working great for me now. Still loads of room for improvement of course, but wow, what a difference. That improvement includes workspaces... they seem to be working fine... granted I don't zoom out all that often... I just use Ctrl+F1, F2 etc to switch desktops (or scroll the mouse wheel on the desktop) and things do what I expect/want. I just did a zoom out, and I see all the desktops I've defined. I can zoom in to one or the other... I can configure each one... each has it's own independent widget set... independent wallpaper... etc etc. no problems so far (fingers crossed). C.
