i had the same crap with the first 4.10 releases
it happens in ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc which is
by stupidity rewritten randomly and there is some race-condition
where after the current settings new ones with defaults are added
with a higher ID, it's easy to fix and exit the desktop with
STRG+ALT+BACKSPACE (some smart guy in the past decided that you have
to enable this shortcut somewhere -> Google)
IMHO it is a *terrible* design mistake rewrite configurations if
nothing has changed
I checked the contents of
"~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc" and it appears to
contain all the plasmoids/settings that I WANT to load when I log into
KDE. So, how it appears to me is that KDE is not overwriting my
plasma-desktop-appletsrc file, but it is just choosing to not LOAD it.
I wonder if there is a way to log out of KDE, and force KDE to read
"~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc" instead of whatever it
is doing now...
