[kde] KDE panel showing above some fullscreen applications
KDE panel showing above some fullscreen applications, namely Virtual Box in full-screen mode. I therefore set the panel as Windows Can Cover but this quickly becomes annoying with other applications. I therefore tried giving Virtual Box full-screen capability from the KDE Configure Window Behaviour... options, but that for some reason makes Virtual Box the size of my screen, but it is displayed offset on the screen to make room for the vertical KDE panel, and thus I am missing the KDE panel's width from Virtual Box on the opposite side as it is off-screen! Are there any other fixes for the KDE panel intermittently appearing over a full-screen Virtual Box? This is KDE 4.7 on Kubuntu 11.10, however I have had this issue with earlier KDE versions as well.

In KDE 4.7 that seems to be called Keep above others and it does in fact place the window above the panel. I actually use this feature for entering information into Anki from Firefox, but I never noticed that it put the window above the panel.

Re: [kde] Switching Activities via keyboard shortcuts.
1) There is no way to flip between two Activities on a single keyboard shortcut, as one can flip between two windows with Alt-Tab (called Walk Through Windows in System Settings). One can likewise set Walk Through Desktops, but not Walk Through Activities. There is, Meta-Tab. Which is Windows-Key-Tab here, I'm not sure if this is generally the case. Look at Systemsettings - Shortcuts and Gestures - Global Shortcuts - Plasma Desktop. I'm using KDE 4.8, but I'm pretty sure this was already like that in 4.7. Thank you. I already have Meta-Tab reassigned to something else. What is Meta-Tab assigned to for you, id est, what is the name of Walk Through Activities on your system? 3) There is no quick way to send a window to a different Activity, such as one can move a window to a different Desktop from the Task Bar's context menu - Move To Desktop. Open the application's window menu, there are two similar entries, To Desktop and Activity. Interestingly, it appears in the window chrome context menu but not in the Task Bar context menu. But that is good enough for me. Thanks! There you can select on which desktops and activities the window should be. I just noticed this myself, I have shortcuts to send a window to any desktop (I set them to Meta-Shift-Fn to send to desktop n, and Meta-Shift-Esc to show it on all desktops), so I never use the menu. Maybe someone should raise a feature request to make shortcuts possible for activities, too. It's not exactly what you asked for, because in order to move a window to another activity/desktop you have to check the destination activity/dektop, and then repeat and uncheck the current one. Indeed in KDE 4.7 the options to move the window to any particular Activity exist, but there is a bug and they all move to All Activities no matter which was selected.

FWIW, here on 4.8.0, it's under shortcuts and gestures, global keyboard shortcuts, kde component: plasma desktop shell, next activity, and previous activity. So you can walk backward or forward thru them. (With just two it wouldn't matter, with three it wouldn't matter much, but get beyond about four activities and having a backward hotkey too begins to matter rather more!) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

Thanks, Duncan, that is what I was afraid to hear. On my 4.7 system, Next Activity goes to the next ordinal Activity, and Previous Activity goes to the precious ordinal Activity. Therefore two separate keyboard shortcuts are necessary to swap between two Activities. This does differ from the behaviour of Previous Desktop and Previous Window which function similarly to Walk Through, -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
