KDE4 Widget Inconsistency

Every time I boot I get a different desktop and panel.

On the desktop, the locations of the widgets change
slightly.

On the panel, the taskbar and pager widgets are removed and
the locations of what remains are totally rearranged. 

It makes no difference if the widgets are locked or
unlocked.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Okay. I'd still try starting with a fresh config, just to make sure it's not 
some corruption there.

Weird fix. If I leave an application in the taskbar when I
log off or power-off, the session is restored with
everything in place. In any event, I'll delete the
configuration files and see what happens.

BTW, gnome refused to burn the iso from that kde4.2 torrent.
I am downloading it again to see if that creates a valid
image file. If not, I'll let Rex know.

Great seed BTW, very fast,

Strangely, I can mount the image but I burned a CD and
created a fribsbee. I'll burn again with gnome - rather than
k3b - later in the day.

What 4.2 torrent?  Where are you getting it from?

If no-one else is seeing it (and I haven't seen it either) it is very likely 
something in your particular setup - maybe left over from a previous install?  
Try RDB's advice.

I haven't experience this either, however..

Which Fedora do you use (I don't know if F10 and F9 has the same KDE version) 
?
Do you by any chance have older KDE configuration in ~/.kde from older KDE 
version (i.e. 3.x) that you just use with KDE 4 ? 
I've seen some weird things with that situation, so usually I try to start 
fresh by removing my .kde from 3.x. 
Could you try starting from a new configuration and see if you still experience 
the problem ?
For example, do:
mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old 
mv ~/.kderc ~/.kderc-old

That will force KDE to re-create its configuration. You will loose all your 
previous configurations and any config in KDE apps, but maybe  check to see if 
that cure your problem.

None, I haven't experienced that myself, nor have I heard of it.
