I like to increase the number of virtual desktop from a shell script.

I tried the following:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
DESKTOPS_NUM=$(expr $(kreadconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Desktops --key Number) + 1)
kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Desktops --key Number $DESKTOPS_NUM
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure


The dbus reconfigure method seems not to reload the number of desktop.

Is there a way to increase the number of virtual desktop from a shell script without restarting kwin?
