Well it is simple, pretty much everybody uses virtual desktops, except for Compiz. And it was stupid of me to think we should support viewports as well :(. There are still things that don't work with viewports (taskbar showing only current desktop,...). I don't think we can ignore Compiz completely, so we can't go with the obvious simple solution, but I suggest considering viewports as some kind of legacy system - when there are no virtual desktops and there is a viewport, the code in kdeui/windowmanagement will silently pretend the viewport is virtual desktops, and that's it. Does anybody have a problem with me doing that for KDE4? -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 972 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http//www.suse.cz >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
