What I'm talking about is the fact that every time I log in to KDE the icons are in the same misplaced location they were the time before. Every time, I realign them (by enabling then disabling Align to Grid) and they all shift to their proper location. The next time I log in, they're all back in their previous misaligned positions.

Are you manually saving the session and reloading the saved session upon login? Or do you automatically save the current session and reload it upon login?
I believe it's the latter. Whatever configuration of (KDE-aware) applications that were running when I ended the session are restored when I log back in.
Sounds like you are restoring a previously saved session. Check in Control Center, KDE Components, Session Manager. I use the Restore Manually saved Session in the On Login section. A Save Session item appears in the main KDE Menu in the panel. Once you've rearranged your desktop icons to your liking choose the Save Session and you should be good at the next login.
That's the setting I have in effect. I forcibly updated it (by clicking "Default", which did not change the settings that were in effect, but did enable the "Apply" button, which I then clicked. In the past, changes I've made to the desktop, both additions and relocations, have been automatically remembered across sessions.
I believe the Restore Previous Session in the On Login section will auto-save your current session whenever you logout.
I wonder if icon positions are actually part of the session? I would have though they were apart from it. I thought the session constituted the applications that were running.
