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
