OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma big screen has been constructed for use on large screen TV’s.
It should be integrated as mode into the KDE desktop: When having a PC connected to a TV (e.g. HTPC) switch to big screen mode. Using the device classic, switch to (classic) desktop mode.

The Desktop modes should be switchable between them, automatic and manual.

Absolutely! I believe this should also apply to plasma mobile. All plasma-* environments should be switchable. Perhaps not 3 separate binaries?

Please try to reproduce this issue on the latest version of Bigscreen built from source and make a new bug .
