--- Comment #32 from Matt Ruffalo <matt.ruff...@gmail.com> ---
I realize that the normal mode of operation for open source software is "feel
free to fix it yourself if the project's normal contributors aren't responding
as fast as you would like", but this bug seems to require some expert knowledge
to fix without introducing the issues that David Edmundson described in comment
#5.

This bug is still present in Kubuntu 15.10 (Plasma 5.4.2 I think) and the
current unfinished state of what will be Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (a mix between
Plasma 5.4.3 and 5.5 as far as I can tell). I agree with others in that this
makes the Plasma 5 desktop look unfinished and unpolished; it makes me think
"if this important functionality is broken in Plasma 5 (despite it being a
solved problem for a long time, and working perfectly in every other
contemporary operating system and desktop environment), I wonder what else is
broken. Maybe I'd rather not find out the hard way, and stick with KDE 4 for
now."

This bug was filed against Arch's packages, but I think it's reasonable to say
that many users will first experience Plasma 5 by using/trying Kubuntu 16.04
LTS, and it would be really nice if this could be fixed in whatever Plasma
version (5.6?) ships with that distribution.
