Description André Marcelo Alvarenga 2014-11-25 01:33:05 UTC 
This also happens when I change Application Launcher using Alternatives.
Default Application Launcher (Kickoff) widget stores the Favorites items when I remove it. When I add it again, the Favorites items are restored.
This not happens with Application Menu. It restores the default Favorites.

Reproducible: Always

This is correct behavior. Config is per widget instance. You can have many Kicker instances with different favorites. Kickoff is technically implemented incorrectly by using a separate rc file, which is for legacy reasons (the code is from the very early days of Plasma) and buggy with multiple instances.

There is a discussion going on about possibly making favorites global in the KActivities daemon, then they would be shared by all launchers. Until that happens (if it happens) there's nothing to change here.

Thanks for your explanation.
