            Bug ID: 357603
           Summary: Having one activity only (which is renamed from
                    "default" to something else) in conjunction with
                    slideshow desktop preferences and unified output for
                    both HMDI and VGA outputs ---- results in strange
                    behaviour of plasmashell desktop
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.5.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Hello!

Let me explain what i want to do

1. In system settings under display options unified both my outputs (monitor
VGA and TV - HDMI -1920x1080).

2. I chose under "desktop preferences" to use slideshow and the pictures to be
"scaled & cropped" and the time interval is set to 7min 10 sec.

3. Then i put some widgets on the desktop (analog clock and folder view).

4. After reboot - my desktop is again a NON slideshow desktop and there is no
widgets which i put on the desktop.

And now the funny thing -- ok so i add the "activity switcher" widget to my
default panel (next to K menu button). As soon as i click it --- the widgets
appear and my desktop is again "slideshowed".

5. The activity has only one activity marked as "default" -- i RENAME that
activity to "something" (in my case "fani") and also change the avatar of the
activity. 

6. In the top left corner of the desktop it now say "fani". I DRAG this "plasma
toolbox" to the right upper corner and lock the widgets.

Then i reboot. 
Im greeted with the same "empty" non-slideshowed desktop with TWO "plasma
toolboxes" -- one which has no name in the left side and my "fani" plasma
toolbox in the right corner.

I have to click again on "activity swither" button which is still on my default
panel to "change" the empty desktop  with my desktop. And i remind: i only have
ONE activity. I have to do this EACH time i reboot. In my opinion, there is
something wrong -- i mean,...this is not how it was suppose to work,...i
think...

ps. i dont know if having two screens and slideshow or even activity is the one
which causes this behaviour...but i mentioned it anyway, maybe it helps with
diagnosing the problem.

pps. i also have two "virtual desktops" but they are identical - i didnt make
then different in  any way.

thank you for your help!

Simon :)
