Missing menu items after update to 5.2

Hello Gilles,

you are completely right, now I installed actual dk to /opt/kf5 and get 
the actual splash screen.

But one problem is still present: 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":

When digikam has started the menu bar seems to be broken, as there are 
only two entries "Settings" and "Help":

Best regards,
Jan
