All I did to achieve this was (note this is the latest Factory 4.3 on 11.1 x64): - Click the Cashew or whatever you want to call it up in the top right - Click Configure Plasma Workspace - Click the check box next to Different activity for each desktop - Set up and use each Desktop as normal.
As simple as all this, eh? :-)
And all we had to do in KDE 3 was select a different wallpaper for each desktop..... Oh gosh, how *boring* was THAT? :-D .
OK, I'll first watch my Harry Potter film (seriously, no joke) and then go and try out this "simpler" method of assigning-a-different-wallpaper-to-a-Desktop trick :-) .
Thanks for the above.
As simple as setting a check box once... yah, that is pretty hard to do... I mean it's 3 clicks... and then all you need to do is select a wallpaper for each desktop like in KDE3.
I don't have a problem with the various clicks. I like a good mystery as much as the next guy. If I have any issue, it is that when a feature has changed in KDE4, where it is possible to have the initial default set so that the behavior is the same as it was in KDE3, this is not done. I guess settings are made different to call attention to them. While it does get attention, the end result is that too many things need to be figured out just to pick up life in KDE4 where KDE3 left off. Perhaps when adding new users (or to whatever extent it is possible with existing users), a program to set all settings to mimic KDE3 behavior when possible would make a few people happy. Perhaps this has been suggested an I missed it. I know that in our own software, when we make a previously fixed setting into one that can be changed, we ALWAYS AND INVARIABLY set the initial default to the original behavior - no matter how fun and wonderful or new setting may make life on this planet. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
