With the problems I seem to be having with Gnome3 (not the problem that
most people have with the shell, which I like - but other applications
which seem to have become flakey - Gedit crashes on closing a tab,
Nautilus FTP doesn't seem to work half the time, issues I have been
discussing here about the applications launched with file associations
...) I decided to give KDE 4 another try (I had switched to Gnome from
KDE when KDE 4 was first introduced).
I am struggling with the concepts behind Activities, Desktops,
Workspaces and Screens. This is not helped by the fact that I am trying
to follow the advice from various web pages - but I don't seem to see
what I should see.
In particular - I use Super Q to bring up the activities manager pane.
This shows I have two activities both named "New Activity". I should
then right click on a desktop and select "Desktop Settings" I should see
a window with the left pane having three options "Wallpaper", "Activity"
and "Mouse Actions". Instead I see a window with only two options,
"View" and "Mouse Actions".
Have I not installed something I should have? or has this changed and
all these web pages are out of date?
