Nothing special, it just pick any folderview you have on the desktop, realign the icons, and moves them back, you won't see anything moving on the desktop, it is too fast, i guess, but still,my memory usage grows indefinitely. Be careful! #!/bin/bash while true ; do qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "$(cat ./folderview.re-align.js)" date grep VmRSS < /proc/`pidof plasmashell`/status | awk '{print $2}' done ...where ./folderview.re-align.js is the following: for (i=0;i<activityIds.length;i++) {{ desktop=desktopById(activityIds[i]) print ("Attività " +i) for (Wid=0;Wid<desktop.widgetIds.length;Wid++) {{ WidgetID=desktop.widgetIds[Wid] MyWidget=desktop.widgetById(WidgetID) if ( MyWidget.type == "org.kde.plasma.folder") { old=MyWidget.readConfig("alignment",0) if (old == 0) { MyWidget.writeConfig("alignment",1) MyWidget.reloadConfig() } else { MyWidget.writeConfig("alignment",0) MyWidget.reloadConfig() } MyWidget.writeConfig("alignment",old) MyWidget.reloadConfig() } }} }} My output: koko@slimer# ./run.sh Sat May 19 10:51:43 CEST 2018 331440 Sat May 19 10:51:44 CEST 2018 348576 Sat May 19 10:51:44 CEST 2018 350652 Sat May 19 10:51:45 CEST 2018 346244 Sat May 19 10:51:46 CEST 2018 350256 [..] Sat May 19 10:54:09 CEST 2018 923880 Sat May 19 10:54:10 CEST 2018 926256 ^C 1755226 1 kokoko3k 2018-05-28 07:18:14 +0000 I tested on another system with qt 5.11 and this seems to be fixed.
