I don't expect plasma to manage background of newly created virtual screens.
Nor any other "unsuported" feature. Just it to not crash as it did not crash
few weeks ago.
Converting a laptop into a full 3 monitors computer simply putting some glasses
on is incredible convenient, and right now, wayland's virtual screens do not
work well enough for it.
Just asking that, as I understand, there is a code that count screens and if
they don't match it fails. It should consider the possibility that xrandr has
been used and not fail. I think.
Anyway, for anybody that gets here only to find that the case has been closed
"because it is not supported": I have a workaround. Install liquidshell, a
plasmashell substitution.
Not as preatty or powerful, but at least it works with xrandr and you can call
it after enabling xrandr virtual desktops.
