Switching to "different widgets on each desktop" resets the plasma-desktop

Hi,

This is an issue I just came across. Here's the scenario: I have a set of
plasmoids on my plasma desktop that is shown on every virtual desktop. Now I
decide I want to use different set of plasmoids on each virtual desktop. So
I go to system settings and change the relevant setting. This suddenly
scraps away all my current plasmoids and gives me empty desktops. This is
probably irritating to a user, he might have useful todo's and notes on his
desktop, which he loses on changing this setting without any warning.

This can be taken care of: ask the user on which desktop he wants the
current set of plasmoids to be (or he wants to throw them away) before
changing this setting.

Until this is done, we can have a dialog, warning the user of losing all his
current plasmoids. Comments?

Cheers,
Viranch
