Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2012-04-17 09:20:41 UTC 
If a user who has installed the Plasma Active Two Meego image (basyskom-plasma-active-two-meego-usb-live.iso) and updates (zypper up), Bug 291359 appears (task switcher does not show thumbnails). This happens because the user still has "LayoutName=thumbnails" in ~/kde/share/config/kwinrc, but the updated Task Switcher needs LayoutName=window_strip .


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install image basyskom-plasma-active-two-meego-usb-live.iso
2. Run zypper ref && zypper up
3. Reboot (or restart X)
Actual Results:  
Task switcher does not show thumbnails anymore

Expected Results:  
Everything works fine

The patch adds directories kde-workspace/data/{active,desktop}, the cmake variable KWIN_PLASMA_ACTIVE selects which directory will be used when compiling kwin. The directory desktop contains what used to be in kde-workspace/data. The directory active contains the new kconf_update binary to change tabbox LayoutName from "thumbnails" to "window_strip" in ~/.kde/share/config (it works here).

Now we need to build a new image to test this change.

I pushed a fix for the problem to kde-workspace from last Wednesday (April 18th). Please test it.

I can confirm that this works with an updated PA2-image.
