plasma config

Hello everyone, I'm having a major issue when trying to change my plasma shell view to folder view (showing desktop). Precisely, when I reboot or logout it restores the plasma view to its default view. I'm running KDE 5.8.5 on Kubuntu 16.04.

This bug seems to be a follow up of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370143, which tried to fix this issue in 5.8.4. However, it still appears in KDE 5.8.5 on Kubuntu 16.04.

I was having same issue while back on <=5.8.3 it was fixed for me on 5.8.4, and now it returned in >=5.10.0
However for me it happens when I'm switch from/to docking station. Settings are saved between sessions.
Number of [Containments] in .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc is raising.
Because of this issue I've given up on customizing desktop... The only thing that gives me PIA is icons on desktop - which I truly hate ;)

Yeah, this was fixed a while ago.
