I'm still kicking around 3.5.10, but I wouldn't mind some updated apps, and some of the new Konsole features sound useful (which is ironic, since they were laid out as to why there aren't differences from 3.5.10...) Of course I wouldn't mind Okular either, but I think this needs the full kde4 libraries. ~daid

Is it really possible to do this? You need to create an activity for each desktop and set the wallpaper within the activities. Here's what I did which seems to work nicely: Created an auto hide panel centered on top edge. Added the activity bar widget to this panel. Create Activity (cashew, Zoom Out, alt-D alt-A, then select setup (wrench icon) (you may have to grab and scroll the desktop to see the commands) and name the activity. You can also set the background here. Use the Activity Bar to select another activity. Note, the first time after adding an activity, the activity bar has a bug where it will show the names for all of the activities, but will draw n-1 buttons. Just click on one button then the activity bar will be correct. Now on any activity, you can right click the desktop and choose Desktop Settings, then change the background. HTH, Roy

Just seen this, following my other reply. `tail -f /var/log/messages` in one window whilst running the `modprobe -v e1000` in another. `dmesg` should show the same stuff as /var/log/messages (in this instance, at least), but using `tail -f /var/log/messages` it's easy to hit enter a few times (to clear some space on the screen) and then see what's happening in real-time. Although there's probably a very good reason for it, it's sometimes frustrating that `dmesg` isn't time stamped. Stroller.

The two show the same output. But if you have several tabs and you let something big running in one of them you can split it, switch to another tab and watch whatever goes on. You can also do side-by-side stuff that way. Could be done better, but still usefull and more than just tabs.

The konsole profiles widget is an additional feature, not a replacement. Just create the profiles you want and you can easily choose with a single mouse click in konsole. Also plasma-desktop does not need a full blown kde or even kwin. KDE is happily running with every ICCCM /EWMH adhering windowmanager.

You will get what you want, if you have 2 tabs open; you can see multiple tabs by splitting the window more than once. So I will add this feature to my 'yes' column, making 3 in all (smile). However, the "help" -- hiding away at the far R of the menubar (ugh!) -- doesn't explain it correctly : Splits all the tabs into left and right views Any output on one view is duplicated in the other view.
