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 :)
