--- Comment #26 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I have a theory which is borne out by
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2120.

Bug 354802 fixed the bulk of the bug by making layouts get remembered on a
per-desktop-dimensions basis.

However the "remember things on a per-desktop-dimensions basis" feature itself
is buggy because the desktop dimensions change during startup, for example when
the panel appears. Because that's animated, there are a bunch of intermediate
states. There's code to batch them up, but it's apparently rather buggy, and
doesn't work well if initial startup is slow beyond a certain level. So the
"save/restore positions" code can get confused by these intermediate states. We
replaced one bug (in Bug 354802) with another, less severe one. But still a
bug, so positions aren't remembered in 100% of cases.

We have the same issue with widget positions, which
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2120 is trying
to fix. But it also appears to fix this as well, since now both bugs are the
same: caused by repeated desktop dimension changes at startup.
