showing system information widgets not working and pager without icons

SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create any system monitor or pager widget on desktop on primary activity
2. Create second activity
3. Create another system monitor or pager widget on the new activity

OBSERVED RESULT
All of the system information widgets (total cpu usage, individual core usage, memory usage, network usage, etc. Anything that you can right click and see "Open System Monitor") are blank, and pager doesn't show program icon.

EXPECTED RESULT
That all widgets would work and appear the same on all activities.

I do not know if this is an issue with the unstable branch specifically or also the stable version because I have not used activities before I switched to the unstable branch

This regression should be already fixed in Plasma 5.24.

It got worse. I updated to 5.24 this morning (the 8th) and this evening, My desktops were all reset (the backgrounds were the default and all the widgets were gone, ALL desktops have the same unresponsive widgets as shown in the "not working" image.

After several incidental reboots, I tried again, and it worked. I think I just had to replace the old ones.
