Desktop widgets don't remember settings after reboot on KDE Plasma

Support KDE Plasma
1

I have two KDE widgets on my desktop.
1 “Sticky Notes”. It moves to the upper left-hand corner of the screen after reboot.
2 “Analog Clock”. It reverts to the default size after reboot.

I tried a different sticky note app, not a KDE widget, and it also forgot its position after a reboot.

I’m having issues with Xfce not restoring my settings after a reboot too, so this might not be exclusive to KDE only.
Settings are stored if I log-off and back in, but as soon as I reboot settings are lost, even though my XML files are all there.
Things like keyboard layout even, I have to re-set it everytime. Thunar settings too.
This did not happen on Xubuntu 16.04. I have to test if same behavior happens on latest Xubuntu. (but hardware support for my Ryzen is not the greatest there)

I too am having issues with the Plasma desktop widgets not being sticky. Furthermore, the network widget itself will not show traffic unless I keep the network’s tray icon pinned, which shows the network traffic.

I am also having this problem. I place the widgets at a certain place on my desktop and they move to the left after a reboot. They at least remember their sizes.
