KDE starts fine but shows an almost completely empty desktop: no taskbar, no launcher, no clock... just in the upper right conner there's a small rectangle  that opens a menu allowing to add widgets and activities to the desktop. What's even stranger when ap app is launched its window does not even have a titlebar. There appears to be no way to minimize, maximize, move or even close the window. The app can be closed from its internal menu, if it has one, but that's about it.

I had that happen not too long ago in Stretch. I just rebooted and it 
was OK.

You may want to also check your settings in Display - Compositor. You 
may have to change to a different rendering backend. Also you might want 
to uncheck any experimental options if you have them checked.

Sometimes though, when things update, old themes or window decorations 
aren't updated to support any new features. Try going back to the 
default window decoration and style. If it is in the default 
decoration/style maybe try a different one?
