After the latest update, my "default" panel stopped working: the notification area was missing the NetworkManager icon, the clock isn't updating (that messes with your brain big time, by the way), etc. I removed the panel altogether and then added a "default" panel, I now notice all icons and graphics shrunk to about twice as small, which I don't mind, but it's still not updating.
Also, when I try to add new widget to either the desktop or the panel, nothing is drawn, but I can tell it's actually there by right-clicking and then I can pull up the settings for the invisible widget.
I have Intel graphics, so perhaps this is related to the already reported stability issues with KDE 5 + Intel, but perhaps someone knows a workaround?
I also added a new user to try a fresh set of KDE settings, but interestingly enough that new user got the older, bigger default Panel and unfortunately the same non-updating widgets.

I had a similar problem. I switched from sna to uxa and the problem hasn't manifested AFAIK.

Ahh. Is it the new Intel driver? I knew about problems there, but I don't see the screen tearing / blurring, so I didn't draw the line between these problems. I'll downgrade the driver and report back to see if that would also fix it. Thanks!

You don't have to downgrade. Just follow the instructions to switch to uxa and you should be fine.

I've marked this [SOLVED] - it's really a work-around until the Intel driver is fixed.
