Subject:    Bug#41996: Workspace order is changed

Package: kpager
Version: debian unofficial 3.0.1 (using KDE 3.0.5 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot)
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Debian woody using unofficial debs

After doing a number of configuration changes from a normal setup kpager gets the \
order of desktops confused. The following is from a posting I made to the debian-kde \
                mailing list:
-------------
I've just started using KDE properly, but encountered something weird.
For some odd reason kpager lists the desktops in the wrong order.
Currently they are like this:

1 2
3 4

Which is fine in itself. However, using the option to drag a window to a
different workspace (not using kpager) has some interesting results:

Dragging a window from workspace 1 off the right hand edge makes it end
up in workspace 3, and dragging it from 1 off the bottom edge makes it
appear on workspace 2. This is the inverse of what I would expect.

Likewise, mapping the desktop switching shortcuts has the same behaviour.

-------------
And this is from a followup with some more information:
-------------
OK, I've done some more testing, and the pager starts out OK, but after
a number of changes to the system it freaks out. I'm not quite sure what
causes it, or if it happens every time.

The things I'm doing are:

starting kpager
configuring kpager:
    classical, no background, icon

Look-and-feel:
    Background:
        Wallpaper:
            No wallpaper
    Colors:
        Atlas green
    Panel:
        Position:
            Top
        Hiding:
            Enable automatic hide
            Delay 1 sec
    Shortcuts:
        Switch one desktop down: Alt+Ctrl+Down
        etc, etc
    Window Behaviour:
        Focus:
            Focus follows mouse
        Advanced:
            Active Desktop Borders:
                Only when moving windows

I also turn off the panel pager (which IMHO is a complete waste of
space).

Log out, log in, and hey presto it no longer works. I've yet to
determine if this is reproducable.
-----------

I did try deleting the session management files in ~/.kde, but that made no \
difference.

If it would help I'd be happy to send a tarball of my .kde directory, or provide any \
further information.
