Missing menu items after update to 5.2

Hello,

I compiled the actual digikam version from git on my Linux Mint 17.3 
(based on Ubuntu 14.04) and have a similar problem.

When I start digikam from terminal I see the splash screen and 
afterwards the digikam window as expected:

(Btw: I have actual dk v5.3 installed but it appears splash screen from 
version 5.1 instead of actual splash screen -> 
https://www.digikam.org/splashcreens. Does anyone know, why?)

But when I create a panel launcher that just calls /bin/digikam, I see 
no splash screen but instead a small window with following text: 
"Loading tools.5.3.0":
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91057768/digikam-window-loading-tools.png
When digikam has started the menu bar seems to be broken, as there are 
only two entries "Settings" and "Help":

Can anyone help?

Best regards,
Jan
