Description Vladimir Mityukov 2010-11-07 13:48:37 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I prefer to have more or less classic desktop normally, but I very like "Search and Run" and would like to fire it up on a keystroke.

I've tried to do that via Activities and got this bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(I may be wrong on some labels, since I'm using localized version of KDE)

1. Open Dashboard;

2. Right click -> Configure widget: Dashboard;

3. Open "Activity" screen; Select "Type: Search and Run";

4. Apply/Ok.

Actual Results:  

- Dashboard background becomes fully filled with grey; No "Search and Run" elements on it;

- After closing the dashboard, it can't be opened again (Ctrl+F12 stops working);

Note: restarting of plasma desktop makes dashboard working again, but it's Activity type is reset to default;

Expected Results:  
The dashboard should contain "Search and Run" elements (just like if I were choosing this type of activity for the normal desktop).

--or-- at least it should not allow choosing of not supported activity types int eh configuration (less desired, off cause).

Hi Vladimir! Are you able to reproduce this bug using the new KDE 4.6? Thanks!
Comment 2 Todd 2011-02-16 20:57:54 UTC
I can reproduce this in 4.6.
Comment 3 Mike Vaughn 2011-05-13 00:50:09 UTC
Just chiming in to say this still occurs in KDE SC 4.6.3. Also, it's not specific to choosing the "Search and Run" layout; it happens whenever the dashboard is set to show an independent widget set and you make any changes in Desktop Dashboard Settings.

This is still not working in KDE 4.7.  If the option isn't supported, it should probably be removed from the configuration.
