Description g111 2018-05-01 15:42:37 UTC 
"xprop -root" reports some X11-settings for the desktop. One of these settings is "_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP(CARDINAL)" that returns the number of the current desktop.

The bug that I came across is, that this entry is not set after login. You have to switch the desktop one time to initialize this value.

Steps to reproduce:

* Login into the plasma desktop
* open konsole and execute: xprop -root | grep ^_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP.CARDINAL

This should print:
_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0

But instead nothing is printed. The line is not present in the xprop output.

* Switch the desktop to another one and back again to desktop 0
* execute the xprop command again

Now the output correctly is:
_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0
