It was caused by the Steinicke NGC/IC Catalog from "Get Hot New Stuff". When I 
delete it from ~/.kde/share/apps/kstars, M29 has a magnitude again (NGC 6914 
still does not).
The Uninstall button in "Get Hot New Stuff" does not work.


btw: Shouldn't  the "Updated Daylight Savings Time rules" be removed (or 
hidden by some obsoletion mechanism)? It's the same that comes with main 
KStars already.
