Right-click on the Pager, check out the various new settings. And when you hover over a virtual desktop you should see a pop-up that lists all the windows on that desktop.
This is helpful, but doesn't solve the problem of finding out where you are right now (say, after logging in).
I wonder if under Desktop Effects, one of the Window Management effects might be a solution? Box Switch, Cover Switch, and Flip Switch all use Alt-Tab to scroll through all windows in a pop-up list. Desktop Grid will display all virtual desktops organized in a grid, showing the windows that are in each; essentially a magnified view of the Pager (and you also can drag windows between the desktops here). Present Windows will display all windows on all desktops or just those windows on the current desktop or just those windows that belong to the same "class".
Forgot to add . . . Under Virtual Desktops, there are/can be added keystroke combinations to navigate between the desktops. Personally, I use Desktop Grid; I didn't mention that in the display, the particular desktop you are currently on is highlighted. IMO much easier that using the Pager for determining where you are/want to be. And fwiw, in KDE 4 like KDE 3 you can define at login whether you want to start with an empty session vs restore the previous session vs restore a manually save (at logout) session. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
