I have plasmashell running in a terminal because well, it's Plasma 6 and it's janky. If I Ctrl C the plasmashell process and start it again it won't remember the icon placement If I open a new tab and plasmashell --replace it will remember the placement. I can't replicate this. I moved an icon to the other side of the desktop and ran "plasmashell --replace" in a terminal and the icon stayed the same. Can you still reproduce this? Ok, so Justin and I figured this out: - If you restart plasmashell with `plasmashell --replace`, moved icons remember their positions - If you restart plasmashell with `systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service`, moved icons do *not* remember their positions. Same thing when using `systemctl stop` followed by `systemctl start` *** Bug 470624 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 471949 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Using plasma-wayland-session, this desktop icons getting reorganized just happened with me restarting my computer. Previously on X11 it did happen whenever my system went to sleep. And also every time something messed with the resolution. There's the workaround of using the folder view widget, it'll do if all you want is to have multiple blocks of folders on the desktop.

Right, because when using systemd startup, systemd is also used to shutdown, and that triggers this bug. That's assuming you're using Plasma 6, of course. If you're using Plasma 5, then your issue is caused by something else. Possibly a less severe manifestation of this same issue, which got worse when using Qt6 for some reason. *** Bug 472820 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/3160 Git commit 2312adcec9d46ecd791686861c37536ede61fce1 by Harald Sitter.

Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. shell: quit on sigterm systemd will send TERM when asking the application to terminate. by default Qt doesn't handle this so we need an explicit signal handler to terminate nicely M +13 -0 shell/main.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/2312adcec9d46ecd791686861c37536ede61fce1 |
