plasma widgets

[cantodea]

Hi,

After every restart my widgets are gone from my desktop. I have to reset them every time.
Is there a solution?

Re: plasma widgets

I'm not sure of a solution, but it sounds like your file: ~/.kde/share/config/.plasma-appletsrc is not being saved correctly when plasma quits. You can test this by starting Krunner with Alt-F2 and then typing 'kquitapp plasma'. That will stop plasma (your screen will go black). Then to restart it again you type Alt-F2 and then 'plasma'.

I'm guessing that your plasma doesn't quit cleanly and so it isn't writing the config file for the widgets you use.

Re: plasma widgets

I am encountering a similar problem:
My widgets just won't stay in place where I put them. They group in the middle of the screen. If I switch a few times in Appearance Settings between Desktop Activity = Desktop and = Folder View, then sometimes the widgets keep their position and do not jump anymore to the screen middle.
