I should add that this cleanup causes plasmashell to create
(default) desktop containments with
Layout = Folder View
rather than
Layout = Desktop
which I had before.
So the nice behavior with application icons can be attributed
to the Folder View layout (you can see the layout by right
clicking the desktop > Desktop Settings > Wallpaper).
Icons added to Folder View layout are visible on each screen;
they are not shown when you convert the layout to Desktop
but reappear when you go back to Folder View.
Icons added to Desktop layout are visible only on the screen
to which they are added; otoh, they are also shown when the
layout is switched to Folder View.
Somewhat inconsistent ... so it seems best to stick to
one layout ...
