Again and again KDE (Plasma 6.0.1) forgets the positions of the desktop icons.
I’ve grouped some icons of steam games in one corner, but often after a stand by break, but always after a xkill they are arranged back to the top left corner.
This happens with Wayland and also with X11.
Are the positions of the icons saved in any config file, that is possibly resetet/deletet?
Unfortunately this is a known problem. The infrastructure surrounding desktop icon positions is rather old and fragile, and poorly maintainable. We’re hoping to do a partial rewrite for Plasma 6.1 that will improve robustness.
Still having desktop icons rearranging themselves.
Apparently KDE developers cannot duplicate a cause.
It happens with my hardware and software settings.
Any way to log those settings for KDE group to replicate ?
For folks searching on the topic and coming across this post, this article by @akselmo was really well-written I thought, and describes the process of how desktop icons work in Plasma and how folks have been working to improve it:
