Description Palmer 2024-03-10 07:55:18 UTC

SUMMARY
When I reboot my settings aren't saved. My desktop returns to default, my applications on the task manager are reset to default, and it's really irritating. I tried checking journalctl for a solution and this is what it showed at the end of me shutting down the last session:

And there's even more after that. I'm not sure what to do, but this has never happened to me on version 5.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Start session.
2.  Move task manager icons around, add new ones
3.  Reboot

OBSERVED RESULT
Task manager icons as well as desktop background are returned to their original placements.

EXPECTED RESULT
Task manager icons as well as desktop background are saved normally.

Git commit c37a224bc7a33c6bd5ba7c546fec74880ad463b4 by David Edmundson.

Sync config to disk when values change

When client code calls Plasmoid.confiuration.a = b the value in the
KConfigPropertyMap changes, but the underlying KConfigSkeleton does not
have any signals emitted until that value is flushed.

We need to connect it to the existing mechanism to sync changes after a
timeout.
