I checked the contents of
"~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc" and it appears to
contain all the plasmoids/settings that I WANT to load when I log into
KDE.  So, how it appears to me is that KDE is not overwriting my
plasma-desktop-appletsrc file, but it is just choosing to not LOAD it.

I wonder if there is a way to log out of KDE, and force KDE to read
"~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc" instead of whatever it
is doing now...
