at the end of the long, dark valley, there is a house - made of paper - and it's starting to rain.

That's what I thought and why I'm asking.

I followed your advice and opened up a new thread:
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=106640
as you can read there as well, I don't now how to reproduce, other then doing the normal updates, which did scramble the
desktop a couple of times in the last half year.
there had been other people on the list, reporting that. (don't find the mails at the moment)
for me, I start over with a empty .kde in the next days - again :( :( :(
and will monitor more closely on the config files.
if i find a misbehavior again, smashed config-files, etc. I will report.
have a nice day.
