sudden change in app window backgrounds ... help

A couple of days ago I used dnf to do a mass update (as in "dnf
update<RETURN>")

I am running the KDE desktop/Plasma work-space on a system which boots
in multi-user (non graphical) mode and has i&The updates appeared to go
smoothly and there were no error messages.  However, the update added a
newer kernel (I went from kernel-4.9.12-200.fc25.x86_64 to
kernel-4.9.13-200.fc25.x86_64) so I did a reboot.  (This is my normal
approach and one I've done hundreds of times over at least a decade.)

However, when the system came back up, everything looked OK until I
started to run LibreOffice (writer, calc - it's tax time...) essentially
the background for everything except the
document/spreadsheet I'm working on has gone from something off-white to
what I would get if I went into systemsettings5 and selected "Breeze
Dark" as my overall work-space theme (which I haven't actually ever tried).

Now in case you find it useful, the system has an Intel i7-5930K CPU (6
phys cores), 32 GB ram, just under 20TB disk space, 152GB swap (actually
needed), and is currently running the 4.9.13-200.x86_64 kernel, Samsung
22" monitor 1920x1200 (new monitor not here yet... sigh).

Since I hadn't reconfigured anything, I assumed that some configuration
param was changed in the update, so I  ran systemsettings5 to see what I
needed to change.  But I found nothing that helped the problem.  Along
the say I discovered that the same thing hits a few other apps as well,

Now I have another (slightly older, slightly smaller) box which
previously had the same config params as this one, so I brought up the
KDE settings until on both boxes and did a sight-verify to compare the
two.  So far as I can tell they are identical.

I did several hours of RTFM, online searches, more doc reading, more
than a little experimentation, and still have not found a solution. 

If ANYBODY can shed some light on how to fix this I would really
appreciate it.  (It bugs me the most in LibreOffice since the background
makes some of the icons almost invisible.
