Hello, Everyone OK, this is getting kind of silly... I USED to have an issue with KDE intermittently forgetting my plasmoids and other desktop settings. Now, I can't get KDE to remember them at all! As an experiment, I just got my desktop to look like I wanted it to, then I did the following: 1. "Leave | Save Session" 2. Change these files to read-only: ~/.kde/share/config/activitymanagerrc ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc 3. Log out, and then back in.
The result? No plasmoids at all!
These are old screenshots of how my desktop SHOULD have looked when I logged back in, and how it actually DID:

The big difference between KDE's behavior now and how it's been in the recent past is that I am not ever able to get my desktop to stay looking the way that I want it to.
