[SOLVED]Plasma setup lost after logout then in

Every time I log out of my KDE session I partially lose my plasmoid setup.  When I login, what I get instead is a set of plasmoids I used previously but changed out.  Also, the plasmoids that I do use is squished down to about 1/4 inch.  I remove the ones I don't want and setup the ones I need, but the result is identical every time.

I'm using kdemod 4.2.

Do you have write permission on the .kde4/share/config/plasma* files?

If not, you should chown those files

I've seen that caused by plasma crashing on logout before it can save. Hash, in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64166 recommended running the following in a terminal to force it:

kquitapp plasma; plasma

-mS

Re: [SOLVED]Plasma setup lost after logout then in

After trying out your suggestions I checked out the link provided by aglarond and attempted deleting my plasma* files.  When I logged back in the widgets I wanted were in place and the ones I didn't were gone.  The only problem that remains is that a pager applet I have on the desktop still shows up squished.  I suspect that that is an issue with the applet itself.
