I'm turning this email into a bug report, since this seems to be a packaging problem. The relevant kubuntu patch seems to be this one [1] and it seems it has been removed from the 4.5 beta packages, with a changelog message indicating it has been fixed upstream, although I see no plasma-netbook.desktop in their plasma-netbook.install file. I don't fully understand though how this is going to work when one has both plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook installed... are they both going to be autostarted? Also, why does plasma-netbook autostart when plasma-desktop is installed and a "netbook" form factor is selected in systemsettings?
