This seems to be fixed now.
just compiled gwenview using the zip file from today, the "boxes" are still empty
Does it work when you run Gwenview from a shell using: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE gwenview
unfortunatley not
Nobody can reproduce this in KDE Neon when compiled from latest sources. It's most likely an issue with your environment somehow. I know for a fact that it's resolved in Kubuntu 17.04 at least, so if you can upgrade to that, this should be fixed.
version 17.11.70 does not have this error any more
