Hi
Finally got some time to try out the "fullscreen plamoid". It is really nice and I would maybe switch to it while keeping the plasmoid in the tray but at the moment I cannot because the kwin script is very slow compared to the plasmoid. I mean even moving the VD selection by keyboard lags behind. I think this is just an issue with plasma and its fullscreen containments as I have similar issues with other plasmoids that use a fullscreen component. There are some workarounds to speed things up, like using a non-transparent background but then it misses some of its appeal ;). Anyways, the kwin script is very nice and like I said it should maybe be the future of the workflows project as managing your desktops is something that should be done in fullscreen mode. In a similar thinking like the zoom-UI of the old plasma/kwin activities. The performance issue is something that will eventually go away as KDE plasma libs become better or will anyways only affect a subset of the users with slower graphic cards. I am having the standard embedded intel graphics chip btw.
You could try to use the raster graphics system and not the native. I had the same issue and fixed by this. Desktop Effects -> Advanced -> Qt Graphics system: Raster
Now to the bug ;). When having the script activated through the kwin preferences I get the impression that it steals the active state marking from any other window even when it is not triggered to be shown. This can be seen only if you have the kwin effect "dim inactive" set as that darkens inactive windows. So if I have the workflow script activated I cannot get any window to not be inactive. I can interact with the windows but they are all darkened by that effect. When changing from one desktop to another it takes like one second to change the window from active to inactive and thus make it dark. Hope you can reproduce.

In some cases even though the window in the script is not appearing, it has been triggerred to be shown. Try pressing ESC to see if it will loses focus. Taking active state is important because otherwise no keyboard works in the kwin script window.. e.g. you cant even rename activities and workareas....
