I expected 5, but not six!  Read on.

There is a bug in the 4.3 plasma - it forgets that you already have one 
desktop - so if you ask for 4 desktops you get 4 plus the one you already 
have.  And that one doesn't have the ability to be closed.  I can't explain 
where your sixth one came from, though.

I understand that in 4.4 (not yet released) this problem doesn't occur.

This is something that some experience and many don't.  I haven't seen any 
explanation of it either.  I had the same problem and stopped using the 
facility in the hope that it will be better next time around.  All the same 
I'd like to know why this happens on some systems.

Sorry I can't help.
