I manhandled a huge update of Qt + KDE last weekend
& am now using Qt-5.15.2 Frameworks-5.77.0 Plasma-5.20.5 .
It was necessary to unmerge the whole of Qt & remerge it
& ditto part of Frameworks : otherwise there were dependency conflicts.
Portage seems incapable of handling such situations by itself.
The digital clock has disappeared from the panel.
I tried "add widgets" & can drag it to the panel, but it doesn't stay.
I tried another widget (simple calculator) as a test & can't remove it.
The icon for the clock in the "add widgets" menu has a small number attached,
which has now reached "10", suggesting that I've added 10 versions,
but none of them is viewable ; there is an invisible icon in the panel
which when R-clicked shows the display for editing the digital clock,
but when L-clicked shows a different widget.
Gwenview now presents my ~/pix/ directory as "Pictures",
though its name remains the same in my file system.
Has anyone else encountered these or other strange phenomena ?
Does anyone have a suggestion how to get back to normalcy ?
