I know that this post might be met with skepticism on this list, but I
use a standard Fedora (now 25) with Gnome Shell and rely on multiple
KDE applications because there is no match in Gnome. Today's 'dnf
update' has installed plasma-workspace 5.8.5-5

And after reboot knotes no longer starts in Gnome Shell. It starts
ok if I login to KDE. I tried to debug it, but my knowledge of underhood
KDE application machinery is not enough. Starting knotes from command
line produces this printout

Is there any way simple way to fix this? 'dnf downgrade' does not work
because of some dependency issue. I feel very sad without my knotes.
