Hello, Everyone Lately after I logout of KDE and then log back in, my desktop background is sometimes changed to something that I did NOT have as my background, and all of my Plasmoids are gone...
Here is a screenshot of how my desktop is NOT supposed to look: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot...

I didn't feel like waiting until KDE loaded my desktop correctly, so I rebooted...
This is on Fedora 19. KDE version is 4.11.0. Yes, that's from kde-unstable. If you can help me figure out what is wrong, I can file a bug report.

Not much help to you but I have not seen this on this Box and cannot reproduce it at the moment, I seem to remember something like this with people using dual monitors but I cannot find the bug # at the moment.

Yeah, I do have a dual video card (NVidia) But I only have one monitor hooked up to it. Of course that does not mean that I am not having issues with the dual monitor code...

KDE 3.4.10 had exactly the same problem and after some updates it is gone at least on my machines
KDE permanently overwrites ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc by stupidity and adds new settings at the bottom - as long the user does not change any setting/position there is no valid reason for a single write operation on config files
(useless I/O, more danger in case of power fault and bugs like this one)

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 zvalue=0
