Well, I don't know for sure, but if I login to KDE Safe Mode and take a screenshot of the "Activities" settings at the bottom of the screen, this is what I see: http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_2-Desktop-Screens...
If I take a similar screenshot while logging into a regular KDE session, this is what it looks like: http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_2-Desktop-Screens...
Activities may have something to do with my problem. But, I tried them a long time ago and decided that I wouldn't ever mess with them again (they just weren't worth what I considered to be all the hassle.) Translation: for quite a while KDE just respected all of my desktop settings. Then, without making any changes, my plasmoids and other desktop settings just started to disappear when I logged out and then back in. Also, I used to be able to reboot and log back into a KDE session that looked like it is suppsed to: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot...
But today when I rebooted and logged back in, I got this: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot...
Now, the only way to get my desktop looking like it is supposed to is to login to the KDE Safe Mode...

Your correct desktop doesn't happen to be in a different activity by chance?

Hello, Everyone Lately after I logout of KDE and then log back in, my desktop background is sometimes changed to something that I did NOT have as my background, and all of my Plasmoids are gone...
Here is a screenshot of how my desktop is NOT supposed to look:

I didn't feel like waiting until KDE loaded my desktop correctly, so I rebooted...
This is on Fedora 19. KDE version is 4.11.0. Yes, that's from kde-unstable. If you can help me figure out what is wrong, I can file a bug report.
Well, it did it again today. But this time, the plasmoids, desktop background & other settings were gone AFTER logging in after a reboot... Rebooting used to be how I got all of that back...
But I tried something new. I logged out, and then logged back in the KDE "Safe Session" Doing that, my desktop looked just like it is supposed to: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot...
Unfortuately, when I log out of the safe session, and back into a regular KDE session, it looks like this again: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot...
If you need any information that I am not providing, just let me know and I will get that to you.
