Sorry, but this was not the solution - not stable - not sure now if the layout should be wallpaper or folders. Think I will give up on trying to unify the display for now, and use other distros when I need to. Plasma 5 does not seem ready for it!

If you're not wanting plasma 5, you can go to Kubuntu 14.04 and use Plasma 4 - no need to go to another distro...Comment

I have other distros on the same PC, so I will keep 15.04 on its partition, until Plasma 5 is amended. http://tinyurl.com/btjth3j Prefer KDE rather than Gnome and Unity, so as Fedora 22 gives similar problems with Plasma 5, I am likely to mostly use Suse 13.2 for the time being.Comment

Have tried to understand what is happening. My starting point is a not unified display with my monitor DVI-0 as primary display and TV DVI-1 as secondary display. Going into System Settings/Display and Monitor - making sure the Monitor coordinates are 0,0 - and moving the TV to cover the Monitor - also making sure 0.0 coordinates. Pressing Unifiy display and then Apply updates the coordinates in ~/.local/share/kscreen/29a188dec574e6c7694496c85b854517 So far so good!
But when exiting settings/display one gets asked to confirm the changes - this updates ~/config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc from a 10-page text file (including coordinates for desktop and panel Widgets and Icons ) to just over 1-page file (with just the panel Widgets and Icons). When logging out and in again the display on the Monitor and the PC are identical - showing the panel Icons and Widgets, but nothing on the desktop. Tried to copy back the previous 10-page file and relogin, but to no avail.
The above happens with the layout setting "Desktop" in the "thingy". Changing that to "Folder" and applying Unify settings and Apply as above, updates the coordinates in~/.local/share/kscreen/29a188dec574e6c7694496c85b854517. Fine! But one is not asked to confirm the changes when exiting settings/display, and thus the ~/config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc is not changed. When logging out and in again the display on the Monitor and the PC are identical - showing the panel Icons and Widgets as before, but on the desktop there are no Widgets and the Icons are in ordered rows on the top of the desktop rather than i my previous arrangement. I can rearrange the existing Icons but cannot ad new Icons. When trying to add Widgets, they either disappear straight away, or if I manage to move them into the desktop, they cause crash.Comment
