For some reason, my panel moves before each login. I have it at the top of my screen, and when I log out and back in, the panel shifts down exactly the height of a panel. I have to then unlock my widgets, and using the screen edge panel setting move it back to the top. Is there a way to fix this?

distro and KDE version?

single monitor?

did this always happen or only after an update?

does it happen for a new user?

is the cashew in the correct place or does that drop down also? if so I'd wonder about the display settings or drivers

Arch Linux, everything up to date. Nope, just my laptop with no extra monitor plugged in. It started a couple of weeks ago, I just got annoyed enough with changing it back all the time that I thought I would post now. Can't remember if it was after an update or not.

I looked in my ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc file and saw my two main panels (my top one and my bottom one) but I also notice a couple of other entries in there for plasma views, both using resolutions that I am not employing. I backed up this file and deleted the questionable lines, and I will restart later to test (I am encoding some audio files at the moment).

fixed it, there were some odd setings under a [Horizontal] section in my plasma-desktoprc settings file. I removed those, logged out and back in and all is well.

Hi,
it works!!!
Thanks.
