cc TraceyC, Nate Sorry to bother. I hope it's ok if I cc. Just checked, and the issue persists. Link to DKO post: https://discuss.kde.org/t/fedora-41-kde-virtual-keyboard-keeps-enabling-itself-how-to-disable-permanently/30127/
Things work here, can you share output of: ~/.config/kwinrc ~/.config/kdeglobals /etc/xdg/kwinrc (if it exists) /etc/xdg/kdeglobals (if it exists)

Apparently, the setting does get saved as can be seen in kwinrc above (and, once I set the virtual keyboard to None in the settings, I can see maliit-keyboard process getting out of the process list, too). So it's just a matter of System Settings being set to the incorrect default when the virtual keyboard is disabled.
