Widgets don't show up in KDE Plasma on Debian Sid
I am using KDE Plasma on Debian Sid. I tried to edit the desktop background to add some widgets. However, it doesn’t seem to work as no widgets are showing up in the list. I restarted the machine and yet the problem persists. I am attaching a screenshot. Any idea as to how I can deal with this?
It’s not that the widgets are not there. If I click somewhere in the widgets list, then they appear on the desktop. It’s just that they don’t show up.

You are using Sid.

I wish I knew. My gut says it’s a ~/.cache or QML issue.

one of the things about kde – as well as many other packages – that irks me sometimes is that the version they ship is a variant that works for them, leaving you stuck with problems like this. my experience tells me that debian is probably one of the distro’s that are better at this than most, but not completely.
