Another story of a patch, or of bugs, investigation, and fixing

As others, bigger members in the KDE community say, “nobody will do it for you, and therefore they will”. The patch from the title comes from such a story.

Let’s give some background first: I’m really a heavy activity user, especially when working. My home PC has about five activities, my work one 3, and I managed to compartimentalize the various “topics” that each activity does pretty well.

After an update a couple of weeks ago from the latest code from KDE git, I started noticing weird behavior. Activities would not start when stopped, and there was no way of getting an application on a single activity. As I had set up KWin rules, that made things even worse.
