Bug ID: 385814
Summary: KDE apps icons removed from the favorites list are
back when plasma session is restarted
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.11.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker)
Assignee: ***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmx.com
CC: plasma-***@kde.org

It affects both kicker and kickoff apps menus.
It does not happen with gtk apps icons, I can remove Firefox and Chromium icons

Every entry is duplicated and set to appear in the favourites of every
activity, but not Discover, which have no checkmarks.

Screenshot
Every entry is duplicated and set to appear in the favourites of every
activity, but not Discover, which have no checkmarks.

Also, if a set it ignores every settings. If I set it to appear only on my
"test" activity (from screenshot), it appears also in the other. When I set it
to not appear in every activity, it disappears, but returns when I restart
plasma.

PS. Sorry for the duplicated comments...

I think this is a separate bug affecting Kate (likely caused by my jump list
actions feature meddling with desktop files)

I'm not sure, but it clearly seems there's general wonkyness with state
persistence. I've gotten both reports of favorite additions and removals not
being remembered now, I think.

Sorry for the delay folks, we will try to prioritize this problem after the
holidays. December was a bit crazy.

This bug was gone but came back recently : icons of favorite apps are wiped off
at reboot, even default ones.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed
KDE Plasma 5.12.5
Frameworks 5.46.0
kernel 4.6.12-1-default

Had to remove ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/ and
~/.config/kactivitymanagerd-statsrc as a workaround.

Had to remove ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/ and
~/.config/kactivitymanagerd-statsrc as a workaround.

This works until the user switches to another menu (like from Kickoff to
Kicker), then the old icons come back again.
