How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

4.2rc1, updated with current-testing including:

kde-settings-qubes-5.12.3-8
plasma-breeze-qubes-5.12.3-8

Brief summary

After installing and switching to KDE in dom0, none of the Qubes widgets such as qui-domains and qui-devices are visible/usable.

Note that KDE now defaults to Wayland and this issue does not occur when selecting an X11 session.

Steps to reproduce

Install KDE: sudo qubes-dom0-update kde-settings-qubes

Also make the changes for lightdm->sddm.

On edit: Also select 'Wayland' session when logging in.

Expected behavior

Qubes widgets appear when logging in to desktop.

Actual behavior

Somewhat normal KDE startup, except no Qubes widgets (and the App Launcher appears in the center of the screen, not near the widget). They are not listed under the hidden menu, and configuring systray doesn't list any Qubes widgets. The standard KDE widgets are present.
