I ran pacman -Syu and it has upgraded KDE to 5.4. It loads the login screen (slower than usual) then I get a black desktop (with no wallpaper) and a white panel at the bottom of the screen. So far I've tried:
1) Clearing package cache then reinstalling all packages via pacman
2) Renaming /home/tom to /home/tom.backup and recreating the folder (and chowning it back to my user)
I still have the exact same problem and I'm really unsure what to try next. It's completely unusable. There are no icons on the panel at al and alt+f2 which usually brings up a command line launcher does nothing. Right clicking the desktop/panel does not bring up a menu.
How can I fix this?

I've managed to get it into a more workable state by:
1) Searching and removing all files with KDE in their name in /etc
2) Running pacman -Rnc plasma
3) Running pacman -S plasma
However, now when I try to launch Dolphin I get the error:
Error while loading shared libraries: libKF5BalooWidgets.so.5
Running pacman -S baloo shows baloo is isntalled and version 5.13.0

Your installation is broken. Dolphin depends on baloo-widgets, which is not installed on your system. Probably you have some other dependencies missing.
