Found a bit more: it appears that ksysguard has been obsoleted and is
replaced by ksystemstats.  Not surprisingly ksystemstats was not
installed.  As soon as I did "Individual Core Usage" started working.

"System Load" and "SysMon" still don't work.  Does anyone have some clue
as to what additional package might need to be installed? or is this a
fundamental incompatibility of those 2 plasmoids and Debian 12 and
testing?

Thanks.

PS: I don't see my responses in the list.  This is the only list I
subscribe to where this happens.  Does this happen to everybody?  Is
there a setting that does this?  Can I change it?
