Bug#821755: plasma-desktop: Task Switchers are broken: "The Window Switcher installation is broken, resources are missing"
Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:5.4.3-1
Severity: normal
In System Settings > Workspace > Window Management > Task Switcher.
All non-default Task Switchers installed via the star (Get Hot New Stuff) seem to be broken and most result in an error message:
"The Window Switcher installation is broken, resources are missing. Contact your distribution about this."
I suspect all of these task switchers are not compatible with KDE 5. I'm not sure why they are being presented as valid options when they don't work.
Also the default task switcher (Breeze) is terrible, which is why I wanted to change it in the first place, but that's not relevant.
