In KDE 4.1 Beta 2, locking the plasmoids on the desktop causes them to not be remembered the next time you log in.

For example, say I have a folder view plasmoid and I add another one. I then lock the plasmoids so I don't accidentally move them. The next time I log in, it doesn't remember that I added another folder view and it's gone.

However, if I were to add the second folder view and NOT lock the plasmoids, the next time I log in, my configuration would be remembered and I'd still have the second folder view plasmoid. After I log in again, if I lock the plasmoids, it won't affect anything.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Add a plasmoid to the desktop, for example a clock.
2.) Right click the desktop and lock the widgets.
3.) Log out and back in, the clock is removed from your desktop.

Steps to NOT reproduce:

1.) Add the clock or whatever other plasmoid to your desktop.
2.) Log out and back in WITHOUT locking your widgets.
3.) The clock or whatever widget you added is still there as intended.
4.) From this point forward you can lock your widgets and you're existing ones won't go away until you add another one then this all repeats.
