Shortcuts caused the problem for some people, there are quite a few reviews on the Ovi store reporting it. The above fixes it.

I've the same issue.
/home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data keeps being reset when I turn the device off/on.
I installed afterwards Shortcuts without any change (I removed it lately).
Code:
/tmp $ ls /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar* /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar0.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar1.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar2.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar3.desktop /tmp $ cat /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar0.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Phone Exec=/usr/bin/invoker --type=m /usr/bin/call-history Icon=icon-l-telephony X-MeeGo-Logical-Id=qtn_comm_appname_call X-Maemo-Service=com.nokia.telephony.callhistory OnlyShownIn=X-MeeGo;
I don't have
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=quicklaunchbar/0
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 1.desktop=quicklaunchbar/1
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 2.desktop=quicklaunchbar/2
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 3.desktop=quicklaunchbar/3
but I get
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=launcher/0/42
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 1.desktop=launcher/0/14
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 2.desktop=launcher/0/5
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 3.desktop=launcher/0/34
When I restart.
Is there anything special to do to have the icons back ?

I think there must be something wrong with the quicklaunch files. Do they exist? Do they have the right permissions?

The problem is solved, but I'm not sure to understand.
After posting my answer, I did the following:
- as /home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data gets corrupted on startup, I removed the permissions on the file (chmod u-rw), and I rebooted.
- after reboot, my launcher screen was completely changed, the order of the applications was not the same as before, and the quick launch icons were not there. But something was solved: after I reflashed the device a couple of days ago, I got some of the basic icons twice. Some of them disappeared finally to be displayed only once (like message), but some others remained twice (like maps). And this has been fixed.
- then i reset the rights (chmod u+rw) and I rebooted,
and now everthing seems fine. Quicklaunch icons are back (BTW, these are the ones I selected with Shortcuts without success), and I've only one icon for each basic app.
No idea why removing read rights on the .data file finally fixes the issue, but at least now it's ok.

The truth is that there should be an option in Settings to select 4 applications which icons should reside on the quicklaunch tab. Kinda silly such option is missing. That Shortcuts app from ovi store seems to be buggy and didn't work for me either.

The dev explained why it's buggy, & the wall he's come up against.
The closed nature of much of the UX strikes again...
Don't think he ever filed a bug/enhancement request in the bug-tracker.
*can't recall if it was obviously titled, or if it started life titled as something else

The file that gets broken is /home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data - it should have the following lines at the end:
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=quicklaunchbar/0
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 1.desktop=quicklaunchbar/1
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 2.desktop=quicklaunchbar/2
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 3.desktop=quicklaunchbar/3
These are removed sometimes when the target files are changed, and especially if they're removed. You can either paste those lines in or copy the original from /etc/xdg/meegotouchhome-nokia: which will also reset the order of your icons in the launcher:
