The whining about it being "gone" in your search results is probably because an important (to some people) feature is gone -- you can't have different backgrounds and widgets on different virtual desktops within the same activity any more. Apparently that feature was buggy in KDE 4, though I never had problems with it, so they decided to ditch it. They have a plan to re-implement it, but I have no idea how long it might take. Earlier you said the new desktop didn't pick up any of the old KDE 4 settings; I can't find that post, so I'm replying here. For me, it picked up a few at least. Under KDE 4, I had changed my "location" directories, e.g. the pictures and music directories, and Plasma 5 kept my locations intact. I also had a couple of scripts in autostart, and Plasma 5 is using them; I'm not sure if it copied them to a new location or just left them where they were.
