I know, I was thinking about it last night... the problem is the "this" part. first of all contextualActions() doesn't know which desktop the click was on. I could override the contextmenuevent, perhaps... but then we run into the second problem: virtual desktops are kinda dumb. I don't see any way of removing an arbitrary virtual desktop; I only see API for changing the number of desktops and setting the name of each desktop. in order to emulate it, you have to move windows from desktop n to desktop n-1 for all n > the one to delete, rename each of those desktops too, and then decrement the number of desktops. eeeeew. on the other hand, it'd be easy to add a "remove last desktop" action. while we're on the subject, another frustration of adding virtual desktops is that every addition changes the spatial layout. I've got desktop 6 underneath desktop 3 right now, but if I add another desktop then 6 will be under 2 and I'll have to go reorganize half my desktops to match the new layout. I wonder if I can have a set number of *columns* instead of rows, if I put a pager on a virtual panel... that'd work around that annoyance... oh, but the add-widgets bar doesn't work on vertical panels. :( and trying to drag a pager from the addwidgets bar of my horizontal panel to my vertical panel just crashes plasma. *sigh* won't it be nice when we can just drag windows to named activities instead? :) -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
