Bug 111345

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Currently, the way I'm using virtual desktops that fits my needs best is to dedicate one desktop to each of my tasks.

This implies that a very frequent operation for me is to ask the pager to add a new desktop for a given task or to drop a desktop when the task is done. This must be done manually & is currently quite time consuming.

One improvement that could be quickly implemented is the ability do create a new pager using dcop, such as:

  dcop ...... newDesktop NewDesktopName

where NewDesktopName is the name of the new virtual desktop.
Ideally the symetric operation (deletion) could also be make accessible via dcop.

This could be used along with a shortcut and perhaps a quick & dirty kmessagedialog command-line to fasten a bit this daily operation ; so I hope you'll consider implement this... 

PS: Another very interesting improvement would be to add an "execute in desktop..." option to the dialog box which appears when pressing Alt-F2 ; I know I should open a new wish report for this, but which application should be associated to it ? Kicker also ?
