Is any other plasma user still having trouble starting it with the previous arrangement of desktops and programs?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471977 refers.
You don't need to do that; you just need to launch an X11 session instead of Wayland.

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs, as they say around here. (Don't ask me why.)
Why has it taken so long for the heart of the issue to be revealed, and then the cure for it? I hardly dare think of the amount of frustration it has caused over at least a year.
It doesn't matter what SDDM is using - it can launch either an X11 or
Wayland Plasma session for the DE in question.
Use the dropdown in SDDM to select a Plasma (X11) session and you should be fine.

That took a bit of spotting - thanks.
I wonder if there's a way to make my selection there permanent.
On my systems, it remembers the last one selected. To be honest tho,
I'd double check the next few logins to be sure. :-) Also, check after
each upgrade to sddm, possibly your desktop as well. I've noticed it changing in the past but is rare and usually after some upgrades. I'm
not sure what upgrade triggers the change, sddm, KDE or something else.

I can now see it does that here too. The one exception is my three gkrellm panels, which go to Desktop 1.
I seem to recall having issues with gkrellm as well. One thing I tried, logging out while gkrellm was closed. Then logging in, opening gkrellm
and logging back out. It helped some, went to wrong screen but right desktop. I ended up setting up a KDE window rule for it to make it park
on the right monitor. It worked ever since. Since gkrellm is
different, make sure gkrellm is active, selected or whatever and hit Alt
+ F3 then select More Actions and rules. I did mine for the whole app I think.
One of those should beat some sense into it. I hope. :-D
