 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?
