Adjusting Kickoff favorites for Plasma 5.27 not working anymore

[Oliver Freyermuth]

Dear David,

many thanks, indeed, this seems exactly like the bug I was looking for.
While patching the files is not nice, it's certainly a solution for the time being
(in my case, I am using Puppet for site-specific configuration on top of Debian, so things appear to be already distro-patched anyways).

Thanks and cheers,
	Oliver
