Hmmm. That might be the problem. Because it's an upgrade, I'm using the same user name I had in 14.04, hence (due to having a separate /home partition that was reused) starting in the same ~/ folder and getting the same KDE profile. I recall that being a problem after a KDE upgrade long ago when I was running MEPIS 11. Root user would have the same problem, because I've used that login once or twice since installing Kubuntu. I'll look up the syntax to create a new user from command line and see if that gets a good start; if it does, then I'll have to decide whether to delete the .kde folder, or create a new user -- either way, I'll have to recreate all my screen customizations from scratch, which is a large part of what I was trying to avoid when I switched to a Kubuntu ("upgradable" really means you spend tens of extra hours before doing a clean install, doesn't it?).
Wouldn't it have made sense to have the OS upgrade also upgrade KDE in a "works afterward" manner? Does the Kubuntu team even test actual upgrades of real systems?
