Sounds like your plasma config has got messed up :( 

First off have you rebooted? (probably won't make any difference)

You need to reset your plasma desktop, to do so:

1. Switch to the console (Ctal-Alt-F1)
2. enter the following commands: 
  rm $HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
  rm $HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktoprc 

Then reboot:
 sudo reboot


Cheers,
