Kicker does not use Konqueror web shortcuts anymore!

It appears that kicker (Alt + F2) as been completely rewritten from scratch. It's no longer called kicker but 'Plasma Search'.

It used to be that it accepted all of konqueror's web shortcut. Now, they appear to be configured separately.

Konqueror tabs in taskbar do not show site's favicons

Konqueror tabs in taskbar do not show site's favicons.
Instead, they all show the konqueror icon.
It makes it very hard to differentiate konqueror browsers at a glance.

In earlier version, konqueror tabs in taskbar DID show the web site's favicon.

KDE Plasma 5

kuser has not been ported to Plasma 5. KDE developers instead decided to develop a new application from scratch (see below).
Kuser still depends on kdepimlibs:4 and as a result, has been deprecated by Gentoo developers:
