Well, I don't know for sure, but if I login to KDE Safe Mode and take a screenshot of the "Activities" settings at the bottom of the screen, this is what I see: http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_2-Desktop-Screenshot-GOOD-Activities_SafeModeLogin If I take a similar screenshot while logging into a regular KDE session, this is what it looks like: http://www.afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_2-Desktop-Screenshot-BAD-Activities_RegularLogin Activities may have something to do with my problem. But, I tried them a long time ago and decided that I wouldn't ever mess with them again (they just weren't worth what I considered to be all the hassle.) Translation: for quite a while KDE just respected all of my desktop settings. Then, without making any changes, my plasmoids and other desktop settings just started to disappear when I logged out and then back in. Also, I used to be able to reboot and log back into a KDE session that looked like it is suppsed to: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot-GOOD But today when I rebooted and logged back in, I got this: http://afolkey2.us/gallery3/index.php/Assorted/KDE4_11_00-Desktop-Screenshot-BAD Now, the only way to get my desktop looking like it is supposed to is to login to the KDE Safe Mode...
