I had misunderstood the problem.  It sounds like some package is
missing.  I am running Redhat 8 and everything shows up when I run
kcontrol.  I did modify the language settings in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
back to the way it was under 7.3.

I can send a list of kde packages I have installed if you like.  I also
did a clean install rather than an upgrade.
