When you zoom out your Desktop 1 may not be visible.  You should be able to 
drag the screen about, to see all the desktops you have, which makes it easy 
to get back to your original desktop.

Even better - look at  
http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/FAQ#How_can_I_quickly_move_between_Activities.3F 
and follow the link to the how-to.  This sets up a new panel, which can be 
short if you wish, and places to autohide, with one-click switching between 
Activities.  I use this on my netbook, where space is a premium, and it works 
flawlessly.  It doesn't always autohide at first login, but touch it and it 
does, after which it has no further problem.

Yes, things are not perfect, but they are improving all the time.  Keep an eye 
on Plasma pages in userbase.  Some of the devs are keeping it pretty well up 
to date.
