SUMMARY
Whenever I restart my computer, and thus my plasma session, any settings such as position of desktop icons and desktop wallpaper are reset.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set wallpaper or move icons
2. restart system
3. login and start new session

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon positions are squeezed back into the top rows of the desktop, which I assume is the default, and wallpaper is also reset to default.

EXPECTED RESULT
No changes to my desktop layout upon login.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.1.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.3 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.1.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
