KDE desktop icons disappear regularly

> The question I have is....  Are you running another desktop and then logging out and then logging into KDE?  Or, are you logging out of KDE and then quickly logging back in?  I ask that since a while back, more than a year now, If I logged out and quickly logged back in I would have no audio.  If I recall, the pulseaudio daemon stayed alive even after logout and the new session couldn't get a new one.  I'm sure they are not related to your issue except that maybe there is a "race condition" involved.

I am always using KDE although I have gnome installed and I have also
6 virtual desktop but I display the same desktop in all of them. I am
not logging out and quickly in again...

Thanks,
