This thread is back!! RE: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=82724
I've got KDE 444 release 2 and the mentioned system-settings -> window behavior's "focus" tab does not have the referenced "Popup desktop name on desktop switch" check box. That was the last release. Some ninny has improved things again and put the control some place where it is not readily found. Waiting around for a couple of seconds is bad enough, but there are bugs in the KDE code, too, wherein the "you have moved here" disappears and you see the wall paper instead of your windows. Since the window doesn't know that it has been obscured, you have to go to some lengths of futzing around to get the window to show the proper image again. GET THIS FRIGGING YOU ARE HERE NOW STUFF OFF MY DESK TOP, please. Thank you _very_ much. Regards, Bruce

It appears to be present in System Settings > Virtual Desktops > Switching. Simply untick "Desktop Switch On-Screen Display". You will need to use search to locate the Virtual Desktops control module, as System Settings was reorganised in KDE 4.5 ( and I use Trunk )

By "System Settings" you mean "Personal Settings". Thank you. Got it.
I also stumbled upon "Different activity for each desktop". It seems when I was last there I did not translate that into "click this to use different wall papers on different desk tops". I know that translation now. Too bad that clicking it removes the wall paper I had set up, though. But life is better now. Thank you so much. Regards, Bruce

It is called system settings, opensuse renames it for some reason.

I would guess that's because most options in system settings are personal, while the global settings are (in suse) found in Yast. A division of labour if you will.

With the unintended consequence that help given by folks familiar with the product misidentify the component to the hapless (me . In this case, quite trivial, but that isn't always true.....
