Description Gandalf Lechner 2014-10-24 10:30:09 UTC

There seems to be no keyboard shortcut for switching activities. the familiar Win+Tab does not work, and switchting on the global shortcuts module in the activity dialog in systemsettings does not seem to do anything. Also the shortcut Ctrl+D, Ctrl+A shown in the menu brought up by right click on the desktop does not work for me.

Reproducible: Always

So meta+tab shortcut is global shortcut which was broken in khotkeys and is fixed recently

I would like to ask If the keyboard shortcuts for switching activities do work for someone using the fixed version of khotkeys. 
I have exactly the same symptoms as Gandalf described, however I already have the recently fixed version of khotkeys (in Archlinux).
In terminal, I tried to stop kactivitymanagerd and then start it again, I get these errors in the output:

org.kde.kactivities.activities: Starting the KDE Activity Manager daemon QDateTime("2014-10-26 14:46:09.496 CET Qt::LocalTime")

I can produce these errors on both:
Archlinux, 64bit, kactivities-frameworks-5.3.0
Kubuntu plasma5 32bit iso in VirtualBox from 17. October (also kactivities 5.3)

So maybe, this is actually a bug in kactivities ?
