True, I had to restore my desktop (widgets) as well as some KDE application settings :-( However, there doesn't really seem to be a clean upgrade procedure for the KDE settings in .config, .local and .kde, and with the update to Plasma 5.4.3, KDE got so confused that it wouldn't work properly with my old KDE settings. (Not sure if there are any attempts to move KDE application settings to a more robust database approach). Given that my existing user account was from F20 times and updated to F22, it was easier to clean up the settings and restore them on an as-needed basis from ~/kde-old-config, rather than trying to "fix" the accumulated history in the 3 folders ... This way I can rule out that KDE apps are crashing because of obsolete / misleading application settings. I hope such drastic cleaning won't be needed after future Plasma 5 updates.
