After reading all kinds of posts, suggestions, the wiki but nothing helps I try here again:
Everytime I log in KDE it seems to be a dice roll which settings are applied this time:
a) - I've set my desktop to 1440x900 resolution but around every second or third login it defaults to 1920x1200
b) - I thoroughly configured which sysmbols I want to hav visivle in the systentray - it's different everytime I log on and I have to reconfigure or take the WIndows approach: don't bother fine tuning your system - won't work...
c) - One keyring asks for authentification every login but is hidden behind other opening windows... which keyring of the many intertwined projects - don't know, it doesn't say. It's just sitting there waiting for entry.... (yes I followed the wiki - is this stuff up to date, I want it to work with SDDM which is the Arch default, right?
d) Though I changed and adjust the settings for "using clear session start" or "load preivious session" it'S not consistent and sometimes even starts applications that I explicitly have unclicked to not start (like telgram-desktop)
e) - Every start (and often in the middle during a session) the default applications to open file types change beetween KDE and Gnome apps. I checked the mimetype info in the WIki (seems outdated also) but I do only have one mimeapp lists in my home directory (in .config) and they show the correct configuration... though the mimeapp list in .local/share/ disappeared... so what is it exactly that the systemsettings of KDE write to?
Also the "restore last session" seems very unreliable and some times leads to an initial crash on Kontact for example (had the same with chrome and some random other applications...)
Now, is there any guide on the configuration files needed in the current (!) iteration of KDE? My suspicion is that new ways of handling things do not really clean up old configs and some conf corpses get into each others way. But there is no way I can afford to set up a complete new desktop with every iteration of Plasma and KF5...
I'd be very happy to get some solid advice here, I do not even know how to start trouble shooting...
thx, p.
