Does KDE4.1 have a full-screen task-manager?
I've been fooling around with KDE4.1rc1, and once or twice I've inadvertently gone into "full-screen task-manager" mode, such as you might see with the Komposé add-on under KDE3.5.
How am I triggering this? I like it pretty well, but I need to be able to control it. I looked through the various System Settings dialogs, but nothing seem to describe this that I could see.
Thanks.

Ha! I think I found it. This is probably something everybody knew about but me.
If I just jam the mouse pointer into the upper-right-hand corner of the screen, I get a Komposé-Exposé display of all my workspaces on a single screen. From here I can select the workspace and window that I want to go to.
Note: I keep my panel and taskbar at the top of the screen rather than at the bottom, so this effect may be triggered differently for others.

Re: Does KDE4.1 have a full-screen task-manager?
The full-screen task-manager in KDE4.1 is under System Settings / Desktop / Desktop Effects / All Effects / Window Management / Desktop Grid. It works quite well -- much snappier than, say, Komposé in KDE3.5, at least on my system. It also has a pretty cool telescoping effect.
