Bug Description
My laptop screen needs colour corrections. In Groovy this worked but in Hirsute it doesn't.
I calibrated the screen and have a good profile. In Groovy I used the systemsettings5 app to install and use this colour correction. All worked perfectly.
In Hirsute this profile is still there and clicking on it applies the corrections, but a few seconds later it reverts. The checkbox remains where it is. Clicking in Default and back on the profile repeats, profile on, profile off after a couple of seconds.
I have installed three other profiles and notice that the delay is after the first click. I.e. clicking on profile after profile, the reversion always occurs about 3 seconds after the first click, not the last.
To get the profile to stick I had to log out, log in using Ubuntu / Gnome default desktop, apply the corrections there, log out and log in to Plasma-X11. However, this didn't last over a reboot.

Appears it's not limited to just Plasma. Every login option apart from Ubuntu (Xorg) exhibits the same behaviour. For some reason I now have Ubuntu, Ubuntu (Xorg) and Ubuntu (Wayland), and Plasma (X11) offered for login. Plasma (Wayland) just hangs.
Tried launching the Ubuntu settings app as me and sudo when in Plasma but the same behaviour is exhibited.
Need to login using Ubuntu (Xorg), change the colour corrections, logout, login using Plasma (X11), launch Plasma settings and apply the colour corrections.
On logging in to Plasma (X11) I noticed the correct colour correction is checked but not applied. I need to select a different profile and the select the desired one again.
