Plasma cashew changed in 10.10

Since updating to 10.10, the cashew in the URH corner no longer gives me the possibility of zooming. What has happened? How can I add more desktops?

Right click on your Pager widget, Click on "Pager Settings", "Virtual Desktops"

Uh, what is the "Pager widget"? Is that the thing with two buttons that allows me to switch between my two (virtual?) desktops? I cannot find the web page describing all that plasma stuff any more.

If I click on that, there is no "Pager settings", only "Activity bar settings", "Desktop options" and "Remove this activity bar". The "Desktop options" sub-menu contains no "Pager settings" either.

If I right-click on the URH cashew, I get the same thing as the "Desktop options".

I think I am lost...

the so-called ZUI (zooming bit) to view and configure Activities (not the same thing as Virtual Desktops) has been scrapped

Well, since doing a dist-upgrade to 2.6.35-27, the cashew has disappeared. However, I have a sort of "phantom" window which covers about the lower 95% of the screen and it has a tab labelled "General" which when clicked shows "Add panel", "Add widgets", etc.

Is Plasma changing so rapidly? Is there doc on this? And how do I get rid of that "phantom" window?

(I have another post on this under "Phantom window" at http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...5021#msg255021.)
