log of kstart5 plasmashell

Scenario:
- FreeBSD 12.0
- sddm
- Update of kf5 to 5.63.0 yesterday using portmaster

Result:
- On next login (with intervening reboot), the last step of the initial plasma
startup wait box takes a long time
- Then the screen shows
  . nothing (for a user with an empty home directory)
  . a restored xterm and xload (for a user which had this running on the last
logout/shutdown)
- The screen also shows the cursor

Scenario (continued):
- Start typing in the background screen
- A box appears, use it to start an xterm
- In the xterm, type 'kstart5 plasmashell > /tmp/kstart5.plasmashell.log 2>&1'

Result:
- The plasma desktop starts
- However, the 'Favorites' and 'Applications' menus of the application launcher
("start button") are completely empty
- When opening, e.g., dolphin via the command line, the system does not know
any file associations and for each clicked file prompts asking which program to
use to open it
- The (attached) logfile shows issues which seem to corroborate these
observations
