Settings as I use them here are retained - even the position of application windows. \
That is a logical thing to do really as there may have been several up when a user \
logs back in again. I only use a plain ordinary set up though, no activities for \
instance but as those are folders by another name there shouldn't be any problems \
really.

The difference is probably down to both disto installed and version. I'm using kde \
plasma 5.86, framework 5.26 and qt 5.6.1. There is still a lot of kde4 around and I'd \
guess as that goes things may take a while to re appear again.

I'm having other problems more related to hardware. They go and updates may bring \
them back but otherwise it's mostly pretty solid.

If you are having problems joining the kde org forum I had the same problem. I \
contacted the administrator and it turned out that I had miss typed my email address.

;-) I asked a question on there though as I thought that devs might read posts and no \
answer. 67 reads so far. Not asking for a change just info.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To correct another post I made - nothing to do with wayland. It seems kde is \
compiling dolphin so that it will not run as root. Sounds like it checks and refuses. \
It's built into some releases. Not sure if this is disto or kde.
