This is not easy. Especially when you use phrases > like, "Use the desktop cashew". WTF is that?

I never saw the lower right one and the upper right one I didn't recognize as a "desktop cashew". :) Still, after "zooming out" I never did find any "create an activity" menu or plasma configurator for that matter. I think there are a lot of developers that are completely uninterested in wading through all the minutia needed to figure this stuff out. We basically want to be able to readily see from our wall paper which "room" (desktop) we're in. It used to be easy. It sure ain't easy any more. Thank you for your help!! But, I'm still stuck with one wall paper for 12 desk tops.
