Description sblinux 2005-02-07 00:00:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.3.4 

I have 6 virtual desktops defined. When I first start KDE, before I change off of the first, I have a SuperKaramba theme that uses PyKDE get the list of wallpapers that are defined for each desktop. For desktops 5 and 6, kdesktop.KBackgroundInterface.currentWallpaper() simply returns the wallpaper of the first desktop instead of the ones that are set there. It returns the correct paths after I have changed to desktops 5 and 6.

How To Reproduce:
Define 5 or more desktops with a different wallpaper on each one.
Exit out of KDE and log back in
Launch kdcop
Browse to kdesktop -> KBackgroundInterface
Execute currentWallpaper(1) then currentWallpaper(5) and compare the results
Change to desktop five and rerun currentWallpaper(5)

Any issues with allocating all the desktops at startup?

Slower KDE startup?
Comment 4 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-12-18 23:52:45 UTC
validateDesk is only called for only DCOP calls: currentWallpaper, wallPaperFiles, wallPaperList and setWallpaper so it should not effect performance. I assume .size() is cheaper than numberOfDesktops().
