--- Comment #16 from luis.carri...@web.de ---
I know this bug since kubuntu 14.04. Only that it then appeared every month or
so, but now, with kubuntu 18.04, practically every day. I have just migrated to
18.04 from 14.04. The bug is especially annoying if you switch-off your
computer on a nightly basis (like I do). I suspect many kde devs never
switch-off their machines, hence they would never see the bug.
The apparent reason for the mixed-up desktop is that the file
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc is modified directly after I
log into my computer. I presume that some kde program wants to check this file
for plausibility or correctness, and then messes it up.
What I have done to alleviate my situation is to make a copy of the
afore-mentioned file prior to switching off my computer, and then use it to
restore the file, and restart the plasma shell when I notice that the desktop
is messed up after login. I use this small script to make the restoration and
restart:

#!/bin/bash

354802)
cd /home/lc/.config
cp plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.saved
plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
killall plasmashell
kstart plasmashell
</code> ---------------------
A very ugly temporary fix - but it works for me. Hope we can find the real
cause of the problem.
