Here is the proof!One of my KDE virtual desktops turned to a gnome one!

Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Something weird and pretty unbelievable happened to my KDE environment today.
Because of a bug(?) of the paste widget something happened that actually was
very pleasant and fortunate!

Somehow, one of my KDE virtual desktops turned to a Gnome one, showing my gnome
wallpaper and all the nautilus services enabled when clicking the right button
of mouse.
All the other virtual desktops remained KDE ones and when I click the right
button there, I have the KDE services.  

For me this is perfect and certainly suitable for many persons that want to
combine the KDE services and functionalities with the Gnome services and
functionalities.

Since what actually happened in my desktop was pleasant, desirable AND
actual,it would not be so difficult to be implemented as a feature.
I suggest to be an option in the wallpaper windows option.
(where you can choose "gnome environment" alongside with the globe or the
slideshow etc)
Of course, for this option to be enabled, gnome has to be installed but
nevertheless most people have both.

So this could end the silly subject: "KDE VS GNOME".
KDE can run gnome in one of its virtual desktops providing in this desktop all
that gnome gives as services and functionalities.

I experienced this and I liked it!

Btw, all this started when I was investigating this bug about the activities
that multiply randomly in every reboot:
http://old.nabble.com/-Bug-248386--New: ... 57i40.html

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on the paste widget in the area where you should choose a random
password.
Actually I do not dare to reproduce the "problem" or even reboot my computer 
fearing that I will lose the unexpected results of the process!
Fact is that like in miracles, a gnome desktop is implemented in one of my KDE
virtual desktops and I like this so much!

Actual Results:  
One of my KDE virtual desktops disappeared and suddenly this virtual desktop
became a gnome one!
(I obtained the gnome wallpaper there as well as all the nautilus services and
all the files that appear on the gnome desktop.

Expected Results:  
Certainly not to have a gnome Desktop inside a KDE virtual Desktop!
This gnome desktop appears in all of my two activities unaltered.

I have the default widget style.The "problem" appeared when I used the paste
widget.
Nevertheless, what happened was a blessing.
It is a dream come true.
Gnome inside the KDE.
What else could you ask?
This is a wish that has to be implemented and it will satisfy so many persons.
I live with this new reality(having gnome inside my KDE) and I like it so much!
I have 6 virtual desktops and now one of this is pure Gnome as the others five
remain KDE.
My pc, is a cheap acer aspire 6530 running opensourced ati radeon drivers.
