What happens if two different containments have the same widgets in different layouts? Or even the same widgets in the same layout but with different settings? I don't think this is implausible if, for instance, people make different activities for similar projects, they might want a different set of contacts or a different folder in folderview but if the general needs of the project are the same the layout of the activity would probably stay the same as well. The new activity manager makes it easy to clone activities, so I expect in certain use-cases this will not be uncommon. -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
