Description Stuart Prescott 2011-01-25 13:40:32 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

The taskbar context menu provides you with the option to (amongst other things) display only the tasks from the current desktop. By the time you've used a KDE session for long enough to realise that tasks from all desktops are being displayed on the taskbar, the menu to change this is inaccessible as it cannot be reached when there are more than 3 windows open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a few windows
Try to open context menu on taskbar by right clicking on taskbar

Actual Results:  
Every region of the taskbar you click on opens the context menu for an individual taskbar entry

Expected Results:  
The context menu for the taskbar itself should have been accessible somewhere. 3 places come to mind for where it should be accessible: 

* some "well known" position such as the far right side

* as sub-menu to the taskbar entry's context menu (didn't kde3 do that?)

* somewhere in system settings->look and feel

[Comment from a bug triager]
This should probably be merged with bug 203912:
You can get the Taskbar Settings option if you right click any taskbar item. You can also go to the Panel settings, hover the taskbar, and you will get options to configure it.
