Sorry, I was in doubt and will do so accordingly in the future.

I will try with RC1 and then report back here then. Thank you.

I will try. In fact it helps also to choose a completely different icon set and
apply it than to return after a logout cycle.

Shame on me, my desktop (and part of my chicken-brain) are working in Italian.
Yes it is the weather applet. The link provided is giving you a screen shot of
what it looks like. It is minor but I thought to tell because it came up after
an update from 42.1.

Uhhh. I do not know. I was running 42.1 to be updated. Although I was using KDE
PIM version 4 I do not thing I was running KDE4. AFAIK 42.1 is running plasma
5. Thus the bug I report here is: the resolution settings were not taken over
from the standard desktop (plasma5?) of 42.1. Bear in mind however that this is
a KVM (I am not at my desk right now) so I do not trust virtualized machines to
behave as real ones when it comes to graphics. Still I reported to keep trace.
When I will be back I will be able to perform these steps on real nvidia
hardware, I will report back then (as long as you do not tell me that the
default desktop of 42.1 is kde4, I doubt it).
