I believe I've seen similar, a few times. But I don't worry too much
about it and just let it stay at the default. For switching, I normally
use either the desktop-grid view (set to trigger when the mouse hits the
top-left corner of the desktop), or more frequently, simply scroll-wheel
on the desktop itself.
My setup is dual 22-inch full HDTV 1080p standard resolution (1920x1080)
monitors, stacked, for a 1920x2160 desktop, with the "working" monitor the
bottom one, allowing a maximized 1920x1080 or two side-by-side 960x1080
windows on the working monitor, and a large 1/3 height (360px) panel
across the top of the top one, with the other 2/3 of it being auxiliary
space, for a media player, an auxiliary konsole window, whatever. As
such, part of the desktop in that auxiliary space is nearly always
exposed, so I can almost always wheel-scroll over it to change desktops,
and that's the way I do so most often.
Meanwhile, there's also the individual keyboard shortcuts for each
desktop, if worse comes to worse. I don't use them much on my main
machine, but DO use them frequently on my 1024x600 resolution netbook,
where I have the checkbox set for kwin to maximize nearly everything,
including dialog windows, so the desktop is very rarely available to
scroll over. These are CTRL-F1 thru CTRL-F12 (up to 12 desktops) by
default, but I map them to Win-F1 (Meta-F1) upward instead, as the Win key
is what I map nearly all my windows and other kwin shortcuts to.
