I had tried that; but it didn’t work.
What has worked, however, is the latest KDE 4.2 update (6 Feb where I
am in the South Pacific). On the first logout/login aftger applying it
I thought it hadn’t fixed things because I had four Kickoff icons and 32
dead ones in the Panel, plus other unwanted artefacts. But after
deleting ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc everything returned to
normal. It’s even survived a reboot.

Don’t know how isolated it is. I had same issues yesterday when I updated to
88.2. I corrected them and then late last night I shutdown down my system.
This morning after a reboot, the icons in the kickoff panel are messed up
again.
Not the small panel but the big one. Only two not messed up were the one for
the last plug in device and the one show the plasma dashboard, there OK.
I was searching here before going to bugzilla to report it.
I just recreated the icons and they appear to work, but what happens after
shutdown?

I used the QT44 repo. I also forgot to mention I had the Home folder issue
yesterday and the changed wall paper. They were OK this morning.
I guess I can try renaming .kde4 and reboot, but I need to be able to
recover my mail etc.

Same thing here.

the thing that helped me out was: removing
~/.kde4/share/config/ksmserverrc
It appeared to keep some settings to restore, apps or widgets that it
wanted to be restored on kdestart.

Several of you have been mentioning removal of .kde4 and in the same
breath saying about recovering mail.
The secret is NOT to remove the .kde4 folder but to re-name it to
.kde4old
all your mail is in there, unless you use Thunderbird, then you will be
OK as that mail will be in .mozilla
