Separate Folders for virtual Desktops

Description:

You can have different wallpapers for each virtual desktop, but the content remains the same. My idea is to have a separate folder for each desktop, e.g

~/Desktop/.desktop1/
~/Desktop/.desktop2/
~/Desktop/.desktop3/
~/Desktop/.desktop4/

which content is displayed on the desktop. So you could have a primary desktop with lots of HDD/CD/DVD icons, a second one with some important applications and a third and fourth one with folders you need often for your work.

Of course you can also mess these all. This would be a good feature, for folks, who do some different kind of work, so they can have files for project1 on desktop \"Projekt1\" and files for Projekt foo on desktop \"Foo\".

No screenshot yet, but I hope it\'s clear, what I mean ;-)

0.1 initial thought :-)

Hi!

We need this feature for Seniorix, a Linux distro for the elderly, and it was a pita to implement it with KDE 3.x. We used dcop scripts that are triggered by virtual desktop switchers. Those script simply copy the icons of the currently selected to the ~/Desktop/ directory after removing the icons from there. One of the problems is, that KDE doesn't update the desktop immediately, so it takes a second, or so, before the icons for the new desktop actually appear on the screen. We don't know yet how to trigger an update within KDE... :-(
Is anyone working already on a integration of this feature in KDE? I'm willing to contribute...(also I don't have much clue about KDE internals)

Its a good idea but there is a lot of questions about implementaion that needs to be thought of first. I started writing these then I thought of an alternative method of doing this that would work much better and avoid most of the dodgy questions:

Rather than having .desktop1 .desktop2 etc you have an option to chose any folder at all and its contents will be the destkop. Be it /home/me/Desktop or /etc/rc.5 (god knows why you'd want that) assuming you have read permission of course.

Then you could also make it on a per virtual desktop or you could have a second plasmoid that changes the folder used as the desktop. I like the second one better.
