and this is *clearly* a timing problem

i had this again repeatly becaue on a TTY i ran defragment a 1.2 TB VMware disk-image
after this finished it was no problem to remove the crap out of plasma-desktop-appletsrc
and replace the activityId with the random one of the useless "[Containments][68]"

every time htis happens the crap at bottom of the config gets "[Containments][68]"
while all my desktop settings are in [Containments][2] and bless god that
[Containments][1] always stays untocuhed because this contains all the quick launchers

[Containments][2]
ActionPluginsSource=Global
activity=Neue Aktivität
activityId=5985c4d0-561f-4986-9d52-8b9f13eed2c5
desktop=-1
formfactor=0
geometry=1926,0,1920,1080
immutability=1
lastDesktop=-1
lastScreen=0
location=0
plugin=desktop
screen=0
wallpaperplugin=image
wallpaperpluginmode=SingleImage
