Just passing this discovery along fwiw, perhaps some KDE users might be interested . . .
I've used KDE's virtual desktops feature for a long time, but it was always a small annoyance to have to share the same wallpaper across all desktops. So I've been using the "wallpaper switcher" applet which associates each virtual desktop with its own wallpaper, and it worked well. Unfortunately, it breaks with the current Plasma and so I lost it with the 15.2 upgrade.
However, the author of wallpaper switcher recommends using "vallpaper" (that's a "v"), which not only provides the same multiple wallpaper functionality, but adds some bells and whistles, too. Installation is very simple, and it integrates nicely (as a "plugin") with the KDE Desktop Configuration. IMO definitely worth a try if you want a different wallpaper for each virtual desktop. Ok but... you hijacked a thread. I did??? What thread? <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/message/FTESJZOJ63VWN573AP5YQOFPZTVMDBZA/>
Click on "thread" to see it...
You took a post from that thread, hit replu-to, deleted the content, and put your own text. That results in thread hijack, the software knows.
Not a big deal, every body does (did) at least once.
I'm confused. The "thread" you linked above /is/ my post, the one and only on this subject.
Click on the word "<thread" at the top left. Then you will see the entire thread, with your own post somewhere in the middle (tell your browser to search for "desktops".
I may have used some other post as a shortcut, just using the list's Address-To field and changing the subject for my post. If that is done, it does not create an entirely new thread?
Nope.
So there is another linkage besides the subject line,
Yes, there is. You have used Thunderbird. Press "control-U" on any message to display the source. Now press control-F, and type "-ID" (without the quotes), to search for "-ID". You will see a header like this: Message-ID: <4ffeb604-1fea-29f9-21ea-b4e753da2956@gmail.com> which identifies your post. Near this header you will see another named "References". Another possibility is "in-reply-to" or similar. Those headers identify the message-id of the posts to which yours is a reply.
i.e., every new post must be composed from scratch?
Absolutely. Trick for Thunderbird: with a message displayed, right click on the address of the mail list, and select "compose message to". That does the right thing.
Thanks for the feedback.
Welcome. As I said, everybody does this at some point in time ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
