Problem(s) with plasma 5.25

I have the same issue on my notebook with 5.25 -- I assumed it was
just a local issue.
I'll investigate whether this is caused by a change in the startup script.

Then I selected 'restore previous desktop session' (I think it was called), applied it, and then 'start a new desktop session' from startup and shutdown. I logged out and logged back in and it seemed fix the problem. That fix doesn't seem to work for 5.25.
