Ok.

Strange, that should have absolutely no impact on plasma-desktop.

That it works with a new user account shows that the bug is fixed.
But again, check that the file is writeable for your user. Depending on how you
copied it, that might not be the case.

> Really strange :(

Yes, and especially your Plasma crashes are totally unrelated to this fixed bug
report.

And I still don't see any relation to Plasma, Plasma should not care at all
whether user-places.xbel exists.
Probably you added some Plasmoid that makes use of it? In this case that might
also be the reason why places get removed again automatically.
Try to delete (or at least temporary rename) Plasma's config as well:
~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*

And if Plasma crashes, you should file a bug report against Plasma. But it
would be good to find out first which Plasmoid causes this.
