Description Martin Bukatovič 2015-08-24 19:10:40 UTC

When I use plasmashell 5 with Xmonad windown manager instead of kwin, pager shows preview of only current virtual desktop while the others are shown as if being empty no matter how many windows they actually contain.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with fresh KDE configuration
2. Install Xmonad (fedora package: xmonad)
3. Clone my xmonad config repository (https://github.com/marbu/xmonad)
   into ~/.xmonad and configure Xmonad/KDE integration as described
   in the README file 
4. Login into plasma shell again and check that Xmonad integration
   is working
5. Try to switch desktops, open multiple windows on multiple virtual desktops


Actual Results:  
Each time I switch virtual desktop, I only see pager preview of current virtual desktop.

Expected Results:  
I see preview for all virtual desktops.

version of xmonad is 0.11 (as packaged in Fedora 22).

Is this relevant for current releases?

Comment 2 Martin Bukatovič 2018-02-27 21:27:45 UTC

I retried on Fedora 27 (Plasma 5.11.5, Xmonad 0.13) and the problem is still valid.

works fine with openbox

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-04-11 20:34:01 UTC

This isn't something that's formally supported, sorry.
