Now the Neon repo for 14.04 has been removed I was going to install the same on 14.10
Upon logging in on the new Neon Plasma I noticed it was the only available option...
So I tried to reinstall the Kubuntu-desktop which was impossible due to unolved dependencies.
Regretfully I did not carefully read what packages were going to be removed, Kubuntu-desktop was one of them...
Because Neon-Plasma is a work in progress I followed the recommended steps to remove it and surprise parts of the desktop showed up again.
Next I reinstalled Kubuntu-desktop and superficially all looks good again.
Superficially because certain Plasma5 icons have remained.
Worse is my vertical System Tray now has only a single row of large icons instead of the previous two rows with small icons.
I found some year old posts about similar, it seems to be a recurring problem when reinstalling the task bar etc.
After creating a new user I new user I see that desktop is OK.
But what to do next/
