Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources After configuring my plasma desktop (from a clean config) for 15 minutes I hit a plasmoid that crashed plasma. Restarting it gave me an annoyingly empty plasma, though. The config should get saved *while* I'm configuring plasma. I get the impression that continuesly working on adding and removing stuff delays the saving of the config indefinitely.
Confirmed: the plasma settings are not saved if plasma crash.
i assume that by now you no longer have the plasma-appletsrc file that you had directly after restart? do you remember what you configured? and i assume this is from trunk? we do save within 2 minutes when applets are added, removed or when the applet says "i need my config saved" .. so i'm not sure what would be going on here, though the report here doesn't give a lot of detail to perform forensics on. FiNex: how did you confirm this report?

Further observations; I added a qdebug in Corona::syncConfig() to ensure its getting called. It is, 2 minutes after adding a plasmoid, its called. It doesn't save the changes to the panel location or which applets I added, though. It did correctly save that I removed applets, it also saved that I don't want icons on my desktop and which background pic I configured.
Created attachment 24308 [details] Auto-saved config before I restarted plasma. I started with an empty config, moved the panel and resized it. Removed various applets and added various others. Waited for more than two minutes and did a killall plasma.
I confirm this. I think its important to save the plasma configuration on a config change of any sort.
I confirm,on kde 4.1(4.0.82) config is not saved if plasma crash
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
How was it fixed exactly?
a series of commits that now ensures plasmarc also gets saved along with plasma-appletsrc.
Thanks Aaron, when and how frequently etc. please?
