Subject: Plasma/Wayland: Desktop icons/launchers move to wrong screen after session restart when using multiple monitors Description: I'm experiencing an issue with desktop icons and launchers not maintaining their assigned screen position after restarting the session in KDE Plasma with Wayland. System Information: OS: Fedora 43 Plasma Version: [Please include your exact Plasma version - can be found in System Settings > About Plasma] Graphics: [Your GPU model if known] Session Type: Wayland Monitors: Primary: LG HDR 4K, Secondary: Iiyama North America Steps to Reproduce: Set up two monitors with LG HDR 4K as primary display in System Settings > Display Place several desktop launchers/icons on the primary monitor (LG) Log out and log back in OR restart the session Observe desktop launchers position Expected Behavior: Desktop launchers should remain on the primary monitor (LG HDR 4K) where they were placed, maintaining their positions after session restart. Actual Behavior: After session restart, the desktop launchers automatically move to the secondary monitor (Iiyama) instead of staying on the primary monitor. Additional Information: I have confirmed the primary monitor is correctly set in System Settings > Display The issue occurs consistently with every session restart I've tried the "Different desktops on each display" option in Display Behavior, but the problem persists This does NOT occur when using X11 session, only in Wayland The monitors maintain their correct resolution and arrangement, only the desktop icons are affected Potential Workarounds Tried: Setting different desktop for each display (didn't resolve the issue) Manually moving icons back after each login (temporary fix) This appears to be a Plasma/Wayland specific issue with desktop icon persistence across sessions. The desktop session should remember and restore icon positions based on the designated primary display.
