Hi Ken, 

I can confirm that the initial blue desktop wallpaper changes (for me it seemed to have occurred in ~30 minutes or so) to a green wallpaper. After this change, the "widget area"* disappears and won't reappear. I've installed RC1 twice now, and it's happened both times. On the second occasion, I vaguely recollect it occurring after disabling the Launch Feedback.

I can try to recreate in a VM tomorrow. Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Bridger

* I'm not sure what the proper term is -- the clear "box" on the desktop containing links to the Appcafe, PBIs, and the Handbook.

Ken,
the changing KDE-loading-blue ==> KDE-loaded-green takes place
too quickly, and nothing can be done . There is one exeption:
the 1st login after installation and X-configuration.

First time it was 3-4 minutes, then changing and default widget
had vanished (my previous report).

Now I sat and waited for this about 5 minutes. Nothing. I removed
widget and placed my icons (3-5 mins else). Here picture
had changed and icons had disappeared.

Seemingly, some my actions call 1st changing, but I don't know
what sort.

Regards
Serghey

To Ken Moore.

Hi Ken,
it is in addition to our "9.0b3: 2 old, 1 new".

After start the first blue background picture changes
into sea green one. Therewith previous icons from the
blue background are lost, and screensaver color settings
are lost too. Sea green background requires its own
icons replacing. It is irritative situation.

When you are talking about the blue/green background, is this when KDE is loading? (when the 5 icons gradually appear before it shows the KDE desktop)
When the default (Blue) background is shown as KDE is loading, it means that it is using the settings found in your .kde4/ folder in the home directory. A green background when loading means that KDE could not find your saved settings and is rebuilding your settings directory with the defaults. In this case, something must have happened to your .kde4/ folder that either corrupted it or wiped it. If you can discover what caused that, we can definitely try to prevent it from happening again in the future.
