(Fedora 36 KDE Plasma)
I'm having an issue with the icons rearranging themselves every time I reboot or simply switch between activities. I have made this short video to illustrate this, note the Firefox and Chrome icons. https://imgur.com/a/0rM3Xj9 Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Since no one else has replied to this, I'll take a shot
I've never had this problem with my panel icons, but I have had my desktop icons rearranged at random, IIRC after some game that runs at at a lower resolution than my desktop ends. After some googling, I found that the KDE desktop icon layout is saved in the file $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc. If you browse in that file a little, it looks like it controls a lot more than the desktop icon layout. If it also controls the layout of the panels, the fix below may help with your problem. I hacked up the little bash script below to save and restore my deskop layout - I have it saved in $HOME/bin/desktop. When I run "desktop -b", it makes a backup copy of $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc. "desktop -r" stops plasma, restores the backed up copy of $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, and then restarts plasma - restoring my desktop layout. I run "desktop -b" in my KDE autostart script, so my desktop layout is saved when I start KDE. On the (now very rare) occasion when my desktop icon layout gets screwed up, I run "desktop -r" to restore it.
