Description Uri Herrera 2015-09-21 19:33:08 UTC

Adding different widgets to an activity (the default one for example) and then removing said activity only removes the widgets (visually) from the desktop but doesn't stop them from running. I created the activity in the Workspace KCM and deleted it through the Activities manager in Plasma then check in the widgets explorer whether those widgets were still in use. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add widgets to an Activity
2. Remove said Activity
3. Open the widgets explorer sidebar and check the running widgets

Actual Results:  
Activity and widgets are removed from the desktop but they're still running.

Expected Results:  
Deleting an Activity should remove and stop the widgets.

Good news: They're not still running

(scientific method; I added a plasmoid that runs a command every 2 minutes + added gdb breakpoint. It was triggering whilst activtiy was active, then that stopped when activity stopped)

The widget explorer does still list them though, which I think is incorrect.
