This issue was resolved by installing `kde-plasma-desktop` which put in all the necessary libraries to get KDE apps working much better. This installation also fixed KFind and other KDE apps that I use.

Note `kde-plasma-desktop` is huge and after installing and before restarting the computer run `sudo apt update`. If you don't run this update, may brick gnome on reboot making it a very tricky to get back up and running.

I made this mistake the first time I installed 20.04 by rebooting without an `apt update`. My Gnome was pooched and I had to do a revert to a ZVN snapshot, which is never ideal as the revert will not fix files under your home which were modified by kde library installation leaving gnome working but in a sad place. If this happens, you would need to hand revert files in home that were modified during kde libs install.
