All my bug reports are just after latest updates installed, rebooted. :)

#  /usr/bin/kde4-config --version
Qt: 4.7.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.7.95 (4.8 RC1 (4.7.95)
kde4-config: 1.0

What's broke in panel? :)

I do not have to modify panel to recreate the major problem.
Every time the desktop started, none of my 25 desktop shortcuts are visible. :(

F5 does not bring them back. I have to toggle icon size to get them to show up.

latest plasma updates and deletion of plasma configuration files resolves the problem.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
