Well, you could also do a library, since that's what libraries are for, 
sharing code. Anyway I won't block kimtoy moving to extragear for this.

Your description: yes. The change: no. I've tried to get used to it now for
weeks. I find it utterly confusing the way it now is and it actually disturbs
my working whenever I switch activities.

Can we get a way to disable this? Doesn't even need a GUI in the first step.

My usage is like this: I have a set of virtual desktops, every has a special
meaning (e.g. 5 is konsole). It often happens that I want to just compare 2
similar things, so I e.g. got to desktop 5, look at the terminal, switch
activity and am not where I like to be. In general I do not know on which
desktop I have been in the activity 5 minutes before. What do I care? I don't
even remember. I know where I want to go now. Going back to a place I don't
remember has no meaning in that kind of workflow. I understand it may have for
other people using different workflows, but for me it actually confuses me when
I try to work.

Thinking a bit more I just do "I want a terminal" so I go to desktop 5. If
it's not the right one I switch to the other activity (I usually only have 2)
and end up "somewhere" which may only accidentially be the right place, but
usually isn't.

Yeah i read a bug report about this (new) behavior. It would be fair to
support all perceptions of activities (because of their abstract meaning).
Ivan mentioned that in @4.10 there will be a KCM for activities, i believe
that we could add some kind of an option.

As I said: adding it to just a config file first would be fine with me.

Re: Review Request: Focus goes to location bar when opening link in new tab in foreground

Well I finally figured out why this was happening! Believe it or not it is due 
to a fix for another bug in konqFrame::activateChild(). Below is the sequence 
of actions that result in the aforementioned bug report and potentially also 
bug# 304865.

When KonqMainWindow's slotCreateNewWindow function is called, it calls 
KonqViewManager::showTab when it is configured to put the newly created tab on 
top. This happens in either slotCreateNewWindow (line #1221) itself or in the 
subsequent call to openUrl (line# 596).

KonqViewManager::showTab calls KonqFrameTabs::setCurrentIndex to change the 
current active tab to the new tab. KonqFrameTabs::setCurrentIndex is actually 
QTabWidget::setCurrentIndex which emits the signal QTabWidget::currentChanged. 

KonqFrameTabs connects the QTabWidget::currentChanged signal to its slot 
KonqFrameTabs::slotCurrentChanged. KonqFrameTabs::slotCurrentChanged then ends 
up calling KonqFrameBase::activateChild (which is KonqFrame::activateChild).

And in KonqFrameBase::activateChild we have the offending code @ line # 226-228:

if (m_pView->url().isEmpty() || m_pView->url() == "about:blank") {
m_pView->mainWindow()->focusLocationBar(); // #84867 usability 
improvement
}

>From your commit log, the above fix seem to have been applied elsewhere but

>revisiion de3e94e9 says:

Re-do the usability fix #84867 in a way that doesn't introduce #208821:
focus the location bar when actively (as a user) switching to an empty tab,
but not when loading a tab which will soon get content.
Fixed for: 4.5
BUG: 208821


So in short, a fix for a regression (208821) caused by a fix for a bug (84867) 
is caused yet another regression (304933). Not sure what the appropriate fix 
here just yet. We actually have to find a way to fix 84867 without causing the 
other two regressions or any new ones for that matter.
