Maybe something to verify. Right click anywhere on the desktop not over any window, select "Desktop and Wallpaper", click on "Icons" on the left, and ensure that "Sorting" is set to "Manual". (Or set it to the way you want them sorted. I kind of assumed you wanted to manually place them. In any case, that's where the controls are.)

sorting is set to "not sorted"
i think the problem is a little bit deeper, sometimes, if the screen goes suspend and is then reactivating by touch the mouse or press any key, the background color is black and there are no icons anymore, no taskbar ... nothing. i see only the last windows they was open by me.
is this comes, i have to press strg+alt+f1, login as root, an restart the display-manager
than log in an all is oke, at this point mostly the icons are so i have sort them last. |

I can only confirm that I have the same behaviour of kde/plasma6 since about 1 month. If the suspend is short it works. Longer suspends I also get a black background and no taskbar. But everything seems to work otherwise, I can switch virtual desktops and start new applications etc. So far I have not found any solution to it. Running with X, using a GT610 and the nouveau driver starting using "startx".

Yeah I was about to say, suspend-resumes are problematic if plug and play is involved. Then the window manager/desktop environment will wonder what to do if icons are on a pnp monitor that got moved somewhere else...
Don't know. I tend to not put too many icons on root window, and try to keep things in folders...

In my case this is a desktop with a fixed single monitor. I do have the habit of powering down the whole lot in the evening. At that time the monitor is in sleep mode (and get powered down at the same time).
I don't have many icons on the desktop, just the applications I use almost daily. They are grouped together by "function". So I have a little group with qjackctl, audex and aqualung. another group with claws, vivali and filezilla.
