Well, now I have a new problem. I have three desktops that each have a different image on the background. This is good. My fourth desktop also has a different image on it (again, this is good), BUT all the plasmoids have dissappeared from it! Actually, it is more like this: Desktop 1: All the plasmoids have dissappeared. Desktop 2: All the plasmoids remain on the desktop, but in different positions and different sizes. Desktop 3: one of the plasmoids has actually become the size of the entire desktop (with no way to resize it) and the other plasmoids are still there, and can be resized and moved around just like a "normal" plasmoid. Desktop 4: Same as Desktop 2 OK, I just discovered that one of the desktops had been changed to "Folder View" (That would have been Desktop 3) So, after changing that back to "Desktop View", Desktops 2, 3 & 4 now have all the original plasmoids. Unfortunately, like mentioned above, they were randomly rearranged, and I will also have to resize them. Desktop 1 still is nothing but a blank image. All the plasmoids had dissappeared. Anyway, I need to get to work now :) Steven P.
