            Bug ID: 301738
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Activity-specific keyboard shortcuts & task manager
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: beamesleach at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

I thought I'd try and create an activity for when I use Windows within Virtual
Box, but the settings which I would like to customise don't seem to be
constrainable within an activity.

I thought it would be good to either remove the taskbar entirely, or have it
auto-hide. Usually, I like the taskbar on the left, and always visible, but it
looks silly when I've also got the windows taskbar right next to it. Also, it
would make the virtual OS's desktop that little bit bigger.

It would also be good to disable the Kwin keyboard shortcuts, either when in
this activity, or when VirtualBox is the active window. For some reason,
keyboard capturing in the virtual OS isn't working with KWin-configured
shortcuts, so commands like Alt+tab are captured by KDE, and not by the Virtual
OS. I think the virtualbox guest additions has something to do with that...

So the features I wish to add to the wishlist:-
1) Activity-specific keyboard shortcuts
2) Activity-specific Task Manager

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Using virtualbox (v4.1.12) from virtualbox's debian precise ppa.
Also installed: virtualbox-qt, virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
Windows 7 64bit guest OS.
Ubuntu x86_64 host OS with KDE 4.8.3.
