Public bug reported:

Cannot open Display Control from KDE System Settings or from kcmshell.

The module Display could not be loaded.

An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned
control module.

You have old third party modules lying around.

going into administrator mode will recreate the same above error message
