It is a fresh install. Here's my system info: SYSTEM INFO Plasma Version: 5.11.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.42.0 Qt Version: 5.10.0 Kernel version: 4.14.14-1-Arch Processor: i5 6200U RAM: 8GB Display Manager: SDDM The Problem: My desktop icon layout gets changed on every boot. The problem only occurs when I restart(or shutdown+start) my system, I mean restarting plasma-shell or logging in and out does not cause any problem. On further research, I found that the file .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc gets modified, **only the positions= line is changed.** Currently, I use this script on startup: cp .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc{.bak,} kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell 1904661 1 nate 2020-01-22 16:27:32 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 354802 *** 1906501 2 mo78 2020-01-30 11:32:02 +0000 @richfmail Thank you for this workaround it works perfect!
