Screenshot showing an empty task switcher widget
SUMMARY
After an upgrade to Plasma 6 I noticed that on an empty desktop e.g. no
application windows, when triggering task switcher with Alt+Tab, an empty
widget appears. I recall that it was not the case with Plasma 5.27. IIRC there
were no empty widgets, to user it looked like no-op if no windows to show in
task switcher.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure to have an empy workspace/desktop, there should be no applications
runnig e.g. no application windows.
2. Trigger task switcher via keyboard shortcut Alt+Tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice an "empty widget popping up"
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no empty widgets. If there are no windows to switch - there
should be no indication to the user as it was in Plasma 5.27.
