Description Thomas Reitelbach 2008-01-24 20:59:40 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) 
OS:                Linux

I found a funny bug in Plasmoid handling:

When the mouse moves to the right top, the button "Add Widgets" appears. Now when I right-click on "Add Widgets" the context menu appears. The first item in this context menu is "Remove this Desktop", which does exactly what you might think now: It really removes the desktop. And there is now GUI-way to bring it back.

No problem for me to get my desktop back, but "normal" users will probably have a real problem now ;-)

See attached screenshot.

Forgot this: I'm talking about 4.0.0 from branches/KDE/4.0, but this bug is probably true for trunk as well I guess.
