I use KDE's plasma pager. It gives a nice MacOS-like grid layout that pops up when switching virtual desktops. Trouble is, the thing doesn't enable itself when starting KDE, I have to do that manually:
right click pager in panel -> pager settings -> Virtual desktops -> Switching -> Show desktop layout indicators disable and re-enable it brings the popup back. It's now getting annoying, and things like .xsesssion-errors are devoid of useful info on the matter. Tips anyone? Note this is the virtual desktop layout popup, it shows up in the middle of the screen. It's not the keyboard layout widget in the panel. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
