This and issues like not having different widgets on virtual desktops
stops me dead. So I tried Activities instead and the keyboard switch
shortcuts do not work, at least in the VM setup I am testing it in.

No for me this is a TOO early release by Kubuntu, no matter how "shiny"
Plasma 5 may be. I will keep the VM running to see if at a later stage
with upgrades it improves enough for me.

I can not run that for my work computer, in short.
