Wherein the wonderfulness of the flexibility of plasma is extolled:

For folks that do not want to devote their precious time to
exploring wizbang flexibility but do want some amount of flexibility,
all those features are of little value.

I configured one wallpaper per desktop so it would be easy to tell
the current desk top.  I had to learn all about this plasma thingey
because without a full understanding, you only had one "activity"
(wtf?) so only one wallpaper.

I have always used a very short right-click menu to select programs
I use a lot (viz. konsole).  Nope.  Can't do that any more.  Yes,
I know that everything is configurable, but the "standard menu"
is not.  You can select or deselect certain things, but you cannot
add to it.  So, I am sure there is a way, but I do not have hours
and hours to go exploring featuritis run amok to fix something that
used to be obvious and easy to do.

And do not get me started on konsole remembering the size of
the last window of any sort and snapping to that size. *That*
is fixed now, but that *was* worth the hours of effort it took
to stop that completely horrible misfeature.

Please, for God's sake, make new wizbang thingies optional and
stop obscuring things that people rely on.  Thank you.

Sorry.  I'm not always a grump.  I just wanted my right-click-for-konsole
back.
