             Bug #: 30517
           Summary: MS Office 2007 applications are always on all
                    activities in KDE, they don't have option to select
                    activity
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: katonag at gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


KDE 4 has a feature set called activities. Activities are different from
virtual desktops, as they provide separate workspaces for separate workflows.
Additionally the possibility for virtual desktops are also present. 

MS Office 2007 applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint tested) somehow break this
feature, and they always appear on all activities, whereas they honor the
virtual desktops. Normally all windows have the option to select which virtual
desktop and which activity they should appear on, but MSO 2007 apps lack the
setting for choosing the activity because of the unusual titlebar*. This
wouldn't be a serious problem, if they wouldn't appear on all activities by
default. Normal apps (even windows apps) appear on the activity they are
started from by default.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Setup KDE to have at least 2 activities.
2. Start e.g. Word2007 on one activity, and also start some other apps (windows
or native Linux, normally doesn't matter)
3. Change activity. Now the second app is not visible, because it remained in
activity1, but Word 2007 is still visible.
4. Go back to activity1.
