I have not had this issue until I asked for it - I decided that KDE upgrade is
good opportunity to clean up ~/.kde/ dir a little. After upgrade I have moved
~/.kde to ~/.kde old and copied some config files from old one to new. This is
only then when Plasma restored it's default wallpaper and all my plasmoids
disappeared, but I am sure it was caused by not copying
SomeImportantConfigFile.
Anyway, I was able to restore part of plasmoids by checking content of
~/.kde/share/config/activitymanagerrc and plasma-desktop-appletsrc (in the same
dir). They are pretty understandable if you are familiar with manual config file
editing. I recommend to modify them when KDE is not running.
