Plasma + ZUI + virtual desktops

[Matija Šuklje]

Hullo,

I know Plasma is being redesigned for 4.2 and that not all features are 
implemented yet and this is exactly why I write here — to beat the iron while 
it's still hot.

I heavily make use of virtual desktops and order them by tasks (and I'm pretty 
sure I'm not the only one). I know a similar feat is being done by the Plasma 
ZUI and its groups of Plasmoids and I can barely wait to use that! But what 
I'm hope won't go away is to be able to tell a Plasmoid (like SuperKaramba 
themes in 3.x) that it should reside only on one desktop.

User case:
* desktop 1: always running several sessions of Konsole (+ admin Plasmoids)
* desktop 2: net browsing
* desktop 4 and 5: for other use (and various Plasmoids depending on current 
usage)
* desktop 3: PIM (Kontact and some related Plasmoids)
* desktop 6: Amarok (+ maybe some related Plasmoids)

The ZUI and the Plasmoid groups are a great idea ...but I'd also like to be 
still able to either link a specific group to a specific desktop or even to 
have the ZUI take into account that not all Plasmoid (groups) are sticky. I 
don't think these two approaches (ZUI vs. virtual desktops) are necessarily 
cancling each other out.


cheers,
