This can cause severe issues for users who have run Plasma as root at some
point, see bug 389297

TL;DR: Confirm Wolfgang's findings that the compression changed (none? =>
something).

-

I noticed that my task switcher theme
(`./local/share/kwin/tabbox/thumbnail_grid`) had changed to "List". It wasn't
detected either in the system settings either even though it was still
installed on disk.

Several of my widgets (redshift and some of mine) also disappeared from the
panel.

I found that deleting:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/kpluginindex.json
~/.local/share/kwin/tabbox/kpluginindex.json

And restarting the system settings would allow me to select my Task Switcher
skin.
For the missing widgets, I had to restart plasmashell.

At first I thought maybe it was just me (since I tend to fuck with the
customization stuff), but I've noticed a few others have detected this too. The
fix also worked for this guy:

I noticed that the old file is ~300Kb and the new file is ~40Kb.

In the old file, you can read same of the strings using a hex editor.
In the new file there's no readable strings.

So the compression (or lack there of) was changed, which supports Wolfgang's
findings.

(In reply to Wolfgang Bauer from comment #8)

I mean kpluginindex.json, of course.
