Hi all. Is there a tool that can be used to clean up ~/.config/plasma-
org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc (other than deleting it and recreating my
desktop setup from scratch)?
Mine has many "containments" and applets that are no longer visible on the
desktop, but still in the file. For example, there are 4 instances of
"plugin=org.kde.plasma.systemmonitor.diskusage" and associated configurations
in the file, but only 1 visible on the desktop (although I do have 4 virtual
desktops, but I don't use activities at the moment).

How do I determine which of these is actually the active configuration and
which (if any) can be deleted?
The desktop now takes anywhere from 30-60 seconds to load after the splash
screen fades to black. In that time I can use alt-F2 to open apps and they
open with the correct window decorations, transparency, window effects etc.
but the wallpaper, applets and panels don't appear until they're good and
ready. In the mean time, its apps opened from alt-f2 on a black screen.
There appears to be a lot of crud left over in this file from applets that
have been removed from the desktop or from times when an applet has either
crashed or failed to load and has been re-added to the desktop, but the old
configuration still hangs around.
Yes, I could move this file somewhere else and recreate my desktop from
scratch, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Any other suggestions as to
how to clean it up will be gratefully received.
Regards,
Rodney.
