Terminal under empty Application Launcher Settings

SUMMARY

I just updated my Kubuntu packages (and restarted), and wanted to change my wallpaper using the UI, but nothing ever came "up" after right clicking and selecting "Configure Desktop ..." besides the titlebar:  "Desktop Folder Settings - Plasma" over the current window. 
I then tried other plasmashell settings (eg. Application Launcher Settings), same result.
I'm uncertain whether I'm filing this bug under the right component 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any Plasmashell Settings
2. Observe

OBSERVED RESULT
An empty window

EXPECTED RESULT
An window with the Desktop Folder Settings UI

After a quick restart, everything worked again.

I don't know what happend in between rebooting for the 1st time and now, but it might be something to look into?

I'm sorry if this is a known bug, but I couldn't find a similar bug in the search-box.

If you didn't restart after your system upgrade, that would cause it. You should always restart after updating, especially after a giant system upgrade. Not doing so causes weird issues like this. :)
