KDE 4.8: current activity not restored
Jan 29th 2013, 14:05

Today it's happened again... I've turned on the pc and... surprise! Empty desktop, no icons on it. >:(

I'm one of the few that doesn't like/need KDE activities. I've looked at docs, video, but activities are completely useless in my opinion.
More than this, every time I start the PC the unique activities I use (Desktop Icons) was not displayed at the startup; at startup always the standard "empty" desktop activities was displayed. >:(

So, every time I use the pc, I have to recall the activity list, click on "Desktop icons" and start working. This was a really annoying and frustrating way to use the PC.
Since I've not found any easy way to disable them, I have invented my own solution, I thought "if I cancel all of the activities but the Desktop icons one, there is no way that KDE will show me another activity with no icons".

This has worked good, now I have only one activity in the activity list. But today... again no icons on the desktop. I was completely angry with author of this funny thing called "activity".
To see again my icons I have done is what follow:

1) I have recalled the activity list;
2) created an activity called "foo";
3) clicked on that activity;
4) recalled the activity list;
5) clicked on "Desktop Icons";
6) recalled again the activity list;
7) removed the foo activity.
8) :?

To summarize, was necessary to create a foo activty only to be be able to click-back on my preferred one ("Desktop Icons").

It's happening to somebody else that KDE "forget" the last activity used when you shoutdown the PC?
Is there any definitive way to disable the "activities" useless-annoying-frippertronic feature from KDE?

I think sessions should be correctly saved. Here my settings:
