Video of pager disappearance
SUMMARY
This is an evolution of [ 404252 ]( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404252
), now that I understand what's happening.
The pager becomes invisible and inaccessible if the number of desktops dips to
one. This is problematic if:
1) the user has one desktop, and tries to add the pager to a panel. Nothing
will appear to happen. So the user may try again, and again, and again,
unwittingly adding many pagers, only to be surprised by them if they eventually
are able to add a desktop.
2) the user has multiple desktops, and uses the pager to add and remove them,
and at any point has one desktop. The user will suddenly no longer be able to
add/remove desktops.
3) the user has multiple desktops, and uses the pager's click-active-desktop
feature, but then at any point has only one desktop, and that feature is
suddenly gone.
The original bug includes a video of attempting to add the pager, with only one
desktop existing.
This bug attaches a video of using the pager to add and remove desktops, until
it becomes impossible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have exactly one desktop
2. Add pager to panel
OR
1. Have 2+ desktops
2. Remove one desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
The interface for desktop operations appears to be deleted without reason or
explanation.
EXPECTED RESULT
The pager remains visible and usable.
