When switching users… I would like to report I get a box when switching back that says KDE Plasmoid or Plasma has crashed … I hit ok and all my desktop icons went away… I went to log out ands logged back in and all my icons were all over the desktop…
Please Advise.

You did not mention what distribution that you are using or what KDE version you have. If you use openSUSE 12.1 and KDE 4.7, you might consider a switch to KDE 4.8.
Upstream release aka. KR48 (KDE SC 4.8) The latest stable point release of KDE SC 4.8. Use these repositories, if you want to have the latest version of KDE.
**Warning **Remove all repos from the Updated Apps only section (UpdatedApps/Extra) if you are going to use KR48.
Version: 12.1
I am using 12.1
I dont do testing DE… I like to stick stable DE’s…

4.8 is considered stable, it’s just not in the standard repos because the
openSUSE update policy is not to officially push a release out that’s an
increase in version number.
That it’s in a separate repo doesn’t mean it’s “unstable”, just that
they’re following release protocol.

This doesn’t seem to apply to Mozilla-Firefox any more
But @CWM84
Switching to the R48 repo isn’t a move away from stability
You could try creating a couple of new users as test subjects. Leave all the
settings at defaults and try switching with those. Does the same happen?
To add: 4.8 is certainly stable. It contains a lot of stability fixes made after 4.7 release. The packages are created from what kde.org releases as stable.
