You are correct: this is an upstream bug. Luckily it has been found already and fixed upstream: http://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/53b2a407af9d1d60cfbb1a42af8546ab0a156d38 We'll look into incorporating the fix in our packages. And just to be clear: (In reply to Neil Rickert from comment #0) > When I login to opensuse/KDE, I normally expect the desktop layout with a > folder view widget. > > After installing 42.2 (clean install, no save user settings), and login: > > The layout was folder-view, with icons for HOME and TRASH directly on the > desktop. There was no folder-view widget. This is an intended change in our branding, no bug. See: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/431286 Though I have to say (here) that I also don't really like that sudden change too. And I have no idea who the mentioned majority was that decided it... But well. >This is an intended change in our branding, no bug.
Okay. Fair enough.
I'm not really bothered by that, since I should be able to change it back for myself. That I cannot change it back, is the problem.
I'm glad to hear that a fix is on the way.
Perhaps there should be mention of the branding change in the announcements for the release.
There are two issues here: 1. The change is indeed a change in the branding; 2. The inability to keep the layout when switching from/to Folder View as a desktop is an actual bug, uncovered and fixed today by Plasma developers.

Yes, and it's obvious that this bug report is about the latter. Which should be fixed by the latest submits mentioned in comment#5. I just wanted to clear up #1. (In reply to Wolfgang Bauer from comment #6) > I just wanted to clear up #1. To avoid possible misunderstandings, I wanted to _explain_ #1. Sorry.

When I login to opensuse/KDE, I normally expect the desktop layout with a folder view widget. After installing 42.2 (clean install, no save user settings), and login: The layout was folder-view, with icons for HOME and TRASH directly on the desktop. There was no folder-view widget. I changed all of that. I switched to "Desktop" layout. I changed the wallpaper. I added a "folder view" widget. It all looked good. Then I logged out, and logged in again (without rebooting). And it had reverted to the initial settings (folder view layout, no widget, default wallpaper). Other desktop settings worked ('focus follows mouse', settings for "konsole" (this still has to be set twice), number of virtual desktops). Those settings were not lost on logout/login. But the layout, wallpaper and widget are all lost. This might be an upstream issue. But I figure that you want to know about it here.
