Description Robin Green 2010-11-30 16:35:09 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

After I stopped an activity, the desktop was replaced by a pure white region which did nothing when clicked on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start konsole from the K menu
2. In konsole, start a GUI instance of emacs
3. Right-click on desktop
4. Choose Activities
5. Rename current activity ("New activity") to "Email"
6. Create new activity, choosing "Empty Desktop" as a starting point
7. Rename that activity to "Builds"
8. Right-click on the titlebar of the emacs window
9. Select Activity->Email
10. Right-click on the titlebar of the konsole window
11. Select Activity->Builds
12. Stop the Email activity

Actual Results:  
Email activity entered the stopped state. desktop was replaced by a pure white region which did nothing when clicked on.

Expected Results:  
emacs should be stopped, and that's all. Since it's in the other activity, actually, maybe nothing should visually happen, apart from the activity entering the stopped state.

Incidentally, another bug that occurs when renaming activities: the new name does not show up, until you close and reopen the activities manager. I will file/find that bug separately.

I assume this is for 4.6beta1?

this might be related to bug 258052 ... tell me whether the next beta fixes it (or try that patch sooner if you're able :)

No, it's an SVN snapshot from Sunday, so it includes that patch.

I guess that needs fixing then.
