Version: 4.00.85 (KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703)) (using 4.00.85 (KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703)), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-ARCH I would love it if the desktop grid plugin whould show the applications per desktop layed out like the present windows plugin does. This would it make easier to drag'n'drop them between desktops, and even negate the need of the separate present windows plugin - one switcher to rule them all ;-)
*** Bug 204637 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'd really like this to be implemented. This feature is present in both Mac OS (Snow) Leopard and and in the upcoming gnome-shell. The former has the possibility to activate the grid while the present windows is active, like asked by Martin Gräßlin, while the latter follows the scheme proposed by jos poortvliet of simultaneous execution of the effects. The reason is being able to see all you windows divided by desktop, and be able to move them, which would add the benefits of drag n drop desktop grid, where you can move windows but you don't really see them all, to the present affect when applied to all desktops, which lets you choose any window but you can't move it.
