I brought this matter up a few weeks ago, and the response is that
Wayland _shouldn't_ mulch any of your settings - but it might. KDE on
Wayland in Debian has a lot of rough edges and should be considered
beta. I've found I've needed to work around crashes, quirks and
missing features. It's possible that a KDE app may change a setting
and X won't know how to read it. Some things that work in X11 don't in
Wayland and vice-versa.
