Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs In Kde 4.2.0, the pager no longer shows the names of virtual desktops, even when choosing "Desktop name" in Pager Settings. However, when choosing "Desktop name" it makes the boxes representing the desktops wide enough to contain the name (rather than small squares as with "Desktop number"). So it seems to be taking the choice into account at least partly (make enough space for name, but then "forget" to actually display it). And it's not as if the display was broken, because window outlines do show up.
Confirmed in current trunk too (r925484)
Confirmed, 4.2.0 here
This is happening to me as well. Stock 4.2.0 on Kubuntu 8.10.
It happens because the widget doesnt have enough size to show the labels. If you increase the height it will show the labels. Maybe we need to check the values...
SVN commit 933129 by asouza: For the default size of the panel we can allow this "one pixel" offset on the bottom. The applet is so small that you almost can't see the offset and this brings back the labels for the panel's default size. For bigger sizes it works perfectly. Anyway, a better solution is welcome ;) We don't like dealing with 'magical math'. BUG:184152 M +7 -2 pager.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=933129
Indeed, that was it. Making the panel slightly bigger solved the issue. Thanks
