--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <pointedstick@zoho.com> ---
It's worth mentioning that his request mirrors one made by a high-profile
reviewer who tested the Plasma 5.12: beta:
http://www.ocsmag.com/2018/01/27/plasma-5-12-long-term-sweetness/

"An immediate finding is – it is very difficult to reset Plasma to defaults, if
you need to. There's no single button or option to just start fresh, WITHOUT
deleting user data, only Plasma rc files. For instance, for the existing user,
I had to manually delete a few of these (.kde and under .config, various
plasma* files), but that did not fully cleanup the desktop, or the file
manager, and quite a few other items besides. This is something that ordinary
users need not do. A GUI options would go a long way toward helping users get a
clean start if they mess up the setup or the configuration."

Perhaps we could have a button in System Settings that does the equivalent of
hitting the "Default" button in every KCM?

Nearly all Phone OSs have a similar setting, FWIW, and back when I was in the
Mac and Windows worlds, I frequently wished for such a feature when I was
helping other people fix their systems.
