For the last few days my desktop settings, especially wallpaper, keep resetting. (Weyland and Xorg) This results in a black screen on login. I can set the wallpaper, but it reset again on the next boot.
I looked into the plasma-desktop-appletrc but could not find anything that was helpful. Where and how can I reset the plasma desktop settings permanently?
