Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs If I use the reboot command in a console, Any desktop plasmoids such as the clock plasmoid are not present on the desktop after rebooting. kde 4.2
I guess the widgets that dissappeared where added on the same session you used "reboot" (which I guess it doesn't close Plasma properly and therefore the widget changes were lost)
Yep. kde 4 has never adhered correctly to the reboot or poweroff commands here, Something in someway, always goes wrong. I'm seeing kernel 2.6.29 + nv + reboot = xserver + kde crash, loads of undesired colours and not taking of the commands such as reboot or poweroff. Just freezing. I can't really debug that, I'd only be able to say, It doesn't work at all. And that's just not helpful. Sorry.

Probably related to bug 187266
Can you reproduce using KDE 4.4 or 4.5beta?
It works for me in trunk svn revision 1134984 (>4.4.82). After a reboot (or even a kilall -9 -r plasma*), the new added plasmoids are there as before. (except the folder view, bug 187266). If it does not works for you in KDE SC 4.5.0, please reopen.
