I would try to uninstall: "playground/plasma" and then reinstall the 3 
KDE modules.

If that doesn't fix it, you are going to need to delete your KDE-4 
installation and reinstall.  You should expect to need to do this 
occasionally.

Please note that the current SVN r729767 doesn't work very well -- 
Plasma is broken.
