I know that hidden options are highly frowned upon, and rightly so, but this seems like one of the very rare situations where it might be considered appropriate. It would basically be an experimental option that will be in a configuration dialog in the next KDE release. The people who would likely be setting windows to activities at this point would also probably be the same people who could handle a (temporarily) hidden option. Anyone not able to deal with hidden options probably wouldn't be messing with the per-window settings. And it would just be a temporary measure, providing some testing for an option that will be more visible in KDE 4.6. If you went this route I don't know whether it would better to have it enabled or disabled by default, though. -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
