"Traverse windows on all desktops" setting not followed

[Tim Holy]

I have 4 desktops enabled. The windows in all desktops show up in the taskbar, even though I've set "System Settings" -> "Window Behavior" -> "Focus" -> "Traverse windows on all desktops" to be false. I'd rather have just the windows that are in the current desktop show up on the taskbar.

dpkg -l kwin output:
ii kwin 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu11 the KDE 4 window manager (KWin)

Thanks for reporting this issue and helping to make Kubuntu better.

I cannot confirm this behavior. If I check the setting, I get all windows over all workspaces. If I do not check this setting, I only traverse the windows in the particular desktop I am in. I get the same result if I have the desktop effects enabled or disabled.

Hmm, this is curious. I've attached a screenshot in case I'm doing something wrong. Except for the "settings" window, all of the other items in the taskbar are in desktop 1, yet they show up in desktop 2's taskbar.

Is there any chance it's settings-related? I'm attaching the kwin settings files in .kde/share/config.

In addition, there's a short file called kwin_update with the following content:
[$Version]
update_info=kwinupdatewindowsettings.upd:kde33b1

The setting to only show the tasks in the virtual desktop you are in isn't in systemsettings. Right click on the task manager (in an empty space) and click Task Manager Settings. From there click "Show only tasks from the current desktop".
