--- Comment #20 from Firlaev-Hans <firlaevhans.fi...@protonmail.com> ---
Another argument in favor of always showing the VD bar in the overview is, for
me anyways, that the desktop bar lets you quickly and conveniently add, remove
and, at least on P5, rename (though unfortunately not rearrange) desktops on
the fly, which the grid doesn't.
(I suppose that functionality could be added to the grid, but I think it makes
more sense in the bar).
(Also, adding or removing VDs on the fly when they are arranged in a grid may
be confusing if doing so changes their layout, I don't have a good solution for
that off hand)
Besides that I find it rather inconsistent to show the bar only under certain
circumstances without even letting the user know about it.
I like having two rows because it makes navigating the desktops with touchpad
gestures easier, but also want the desktop bar in the overview for various
reasons including those mentioned above.

I like that proposal. I personally don't think it is necessary but if there is
any concern about confusing the users about the layout, this should fix that
(besides, as I said I think the status quo on Plasma 6 is more confusing)
