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
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...
