SUMMARY Well, I am experiencing issues in Latte which only dissolve after I restart plasmashell. Namely the desktop icon dodging and panel icon painting functions. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424356#add_comment These issues usually occur after booting and are dissolved by killing and restarting plasmashell and latte-dock afterwards. Only restarting latte-dock doesn't help, so I guess it is related to plasmashell. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot the system with latte-dock loading automatically OBSERVED RESULT Icons are not dodging and icon painting based on wallpaper are not working SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
when it happens, can you from a terminal: * launch xprop * click on the lattedock panel * paste here what the command tells about that window

Created attachment 136563 [details] attachment-3406-0.html I think I have found the source of the problem but no solution yet. When I boot the laptop all of my widgets are gone an old wallpaper is shown. When I then quit and restart plasmashell, the widgets are there, the new wallpaper is set and Latte works again. What could be the reason that plasmashell loads an old profile at boot?

Hmm this is really weird. I tried deleting all the files in ~/.cache/plasmashell and also ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache and I get exactly the same behavior.
So it seems like there are two session profiles. A fault one is loaded at login and the working one that contains all the applets from ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc loads after reloading plasmashell by entering plasmashell —-replace Why could this be? I know it is probably a configuration error, but I don‘t want to reinstall the system because of it or create a new user just yet
I discovered yesterday that this only happens, when there is an external monitor is connected. It seems like plasmashell first loads a secondary profile for the secondary monitor. After replacing the shell it loads the first monitor profile. I just don't understand why the secondary profile is broken and Latte dock cannot load.
Hi, same problem here. I only wanted KDE to use my second HDMI monitor, not the built-on laptop. Obervations: - desktop icons load but not at the place i left them - Task manager does not load at all (possibly thinks it should be on first monitor) - plasmashell —-replace & fixes task manager and icons - but not the desktop effects like blur, transparency So i tried all the kde display configs possible etc Now that seems to work is configuring /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA-1-2" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "LVDS1" Option "Ignore" "true" EndSection Trick is ignoring built-in monitor (LVDS1) in X before KDE has chance to detect it. (Somewhy i had VGA too so ignored that one too). You can look up monitor id with xrandr. Hope this info helps someone like me.
