Description Kevin "G" 2023-06-26 15:16:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
I love Plasma, but no matter the distro, when I setup my 3 screens and configure them how I like them, I choose "apply" and go to move to another setting, Plasma then asks "do you wish to keep this setting" even though I have already chosen apply.  I choose yes, and then a simple reboot the configuration isn't saved or "written".   It simply goes back to default, which isn't how i want them, obv.    Please fix!!  I humbly (not a programmer) appreciate anyone's help in advance.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Either Live or install Plasma, go to configure display
2. Set displays as you want them, I have 3, and choose Apply.  Go to another setting, it will ask you "Do you wish to keep this setting" you choose yes and reboot.
3.  Displays goes back to default, as if when Apply was chosen, something didn't write the config.

Please attach the output of `kscreen-doctor -o` before you apply the settings, and then again immediately after click the "Keep" button in the confirmation popup. Thanks!
