--- Comment #10 from cwo <spikespie...@gmx.de> ---
It seems that this bug report at present mixes several issues:
1. The title is about having two ways to open the Widget Explorer - for panels,
and for the desktop. This is intentional as they do different things.
2. The two ways work differently in many ways. See also #488571 and its
comments for more inconsistencies
3. Sometimes, in particular if both the Widget Explorer and the Panel settings
are open at the same time, the picture of the desktop becomes very small
4. Opening Widget Explorer should close the Panel Configuration (and the other
way around, I presume?)
I'd like to argue against 4 first. It seems to me that a user who opens both
the Widget Explorer and the Panel Settings is looking to setup multiple widgets
on their panel, and will likely look to arrange them as well. Constantly
leaving one mode or the other would mean lots of manual re-entering modes.
Plus, there does not seem to be a conceptual reason why both couldn't be active
at the same time, and if the user is done adding or rearranging, but still want
the other mode active, they can always manually close things.
This means that the image of the desktop will sometimes be smaller (3). But I
think it really looks weird in the screenshots here not because both modes are
active, but because there's a lot of unused space. And this doesn't seem to
happen in the default panel setup (bottom full-width panel); in that case, the
full screen width gets used. So I would suggest that using all the available
space would allow for a larger image of the desktop, and solve this. (It would
still be rather tiny on a very small screen resolution , but I think it's
unavoidable that this is going to happen sometimes.
dmatteo, would that solve your issue?
I would also suggest editing the description to make it more clear what this
bug is about.
