It has been sprawling forever and the black desktop/desktop reset (background
resets, notes, widgets, etc..) with multiple monitor setups. It is almost
impossible to use your desktop for anything as it will either randomly be
completely reset (a new container is created in
plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc). Literally just get an extra monitor
and use KDE with it for a few days/weeks, I'm sure you'll experience the issues
many of us are. I'm at a loss as I love KDE, but constantly fighting this issue
is slowly driving many away from using KDE.
This bug is still present in 5.25 and though I haven't had a chance to try
5.26, I would think it is also present there as well. Any help is appreciated
as it is driving us all nuts to not be able to actually utilize a major
components of this desktop environment, along with having to redo things it
desides to randomly reset our desktops.
Easy to reproduce the black desktop:
1. Leave your computer idle
2. Let your monitors go to sleep
3. Wake up the system and login
4. You should have now a black desktop on one of your monitors
Desktop reset is random, and can happen either using the steps above, or just
randomly on a login to the system. Many many posts in the linked thread should
be beneficial to eradicating these issues going forward.
