            Bug ID: 440918
           Summary: Random wallpaper reset feels annoying
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jay at misunderstood.co.nz
  Target Milestone: ---

A KDE contributer on /r/kde recommended I file a bug here:

Decided to try out KDE 5.22 recently and installed Fedora 34 KDE on a desktop
(i9-9900k + RX590 hardware). No customisations done, only changed the desktop
wallpaper (located in /home/user/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg). Should also note that
I am running plasma on X11.

Everything runs butter smooth and has been really stable. However, there are a
couple of annoying issues:

1. I am running two 1080p monitors via HDMI. Every time I reboot, one of the
screens would have a black background. Ended up having to create and run the
following script at start up to get rid of the black background:
```
#!/bin/bash
sleep 3
xrandr --auto
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --auto
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --left-of HDMI-A-0
```

2. The wallpaper on one or both screens get reverted to Fedora's default
wallpaper occassiaionlly after reboot or lock screen. The fact that I need to
change it back to what I had set before manually feels really annoying.



OBSERVED RESULT

Wallpaper reverted to the Linux distribution's default.


EXPECTED RESULT

User-configured wallpapers for the lock screen and the desktop should be
persistent.
