Bug#640724: plasma-desktop: pager widget doesn't remember settings

[Wouter Van Hemel <wouter-debian@publica.duodecim.org>]

Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:4.6.5-3
Followup-For: Bug #640724

Hello,

The pager widget/applet doesn't remember its settings.

I have 4 workspaces in a horizontal row. In the pager applet, the setting "Number of rows:" is set to 1. When the system starts, the pager shows the workspaces in one row, but they are really arranged 2x2 and when using shortcuts, can only be switched to with left-right and up-down.

When I set "Number of rows" in Pager Settings to 2, click OK, and then set it back to 1, the desktops are arranged correctly side-by-side in one row.

After rebooting or restarting KDE, the pager shows 4 desktops side-by-side while they are physically arranged 2x2 (which is incorrect).

Somehow, restoring the setting of "Number of rows" only applies to the pager widget and not the physical desktop layout.


I expect the layout of the pager widget and the actual physical order of the workspaces to match (preferably in one row, because I'm too stupid to use 4 keys to switch workspace).


Regards,

  Wouter
