--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This was an intentional change for Plasma 6, on the logic that we always wanted
to preserve the spatiality of the actual arrangement of virtual desktops; if we
allowed opting out of it here, it would be odd to not also be able to opt out
of it in Overview.

However due to overwhelm,overwhelming user feedback, in Plasma 6.2, Overview
now adopts a flattened arrangement of two-dimensional virtual desktop grids
again, breaking the spatiality anyway.

I could see that being used as an argument to do exactly the same thing for
Desktop grid: in the same way that we flatten two-dimensional arrangements to
fit better on the narrow/tall linear area available on Overview, we could
conceivably un-flatten one-dimensional arrangements on the Desktop Grid page to
make better use of the large square-ish or rectangular space.

I can see arguments for and against doing this, and will turn the matter over
to KWin and Overview developers.
