[SOLVED] KDE Plasma broken after glibc upgrade

Hi,
After updating glibc from 2.36-7 to 2.37-2 I've problems with KDE plasmashell.
Symptoms are that all my icons on desktop have disappeared, and that pressing any menu icon to launch an app (eg: kate, firefox, ...) lead to nothing but a bouncing icon for a few seconds.
From a terminal (yakuake launched automatically) I can launch the apps.

Downgrading glibc (I know not a good idea) solves the problem.

In case it's meaningful, I'm using nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.161.03-2.

Any idea, help on how to solve this in a decent way?
Any log I could provide? Not sure what to look for, I've seen not red lines!

Thanks,

Thanks BS86,

I didn't catch that one. I was so focused on glibc, beacuase my laptop has the problem with Nvidia 390 driver.
Apparently cleaning the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc did the trick.
Now I've to rebuild my Desktop...
