22 We have slightly different USE flags.  Here's mine:
23
24 [ebuild   R   ~] kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.11.0:5::gentoo 
25 USE="calendar handbook -appstream -debug -geolocation -gps -prison
26 -qalculate -semantic-desktop -systemd {-test}" 0 KiB

28 I notice systemd is missing in yours, not on or off just not there at
29 all.  I'm not sure exactly what calendar does but I do use the one in
30 the little panel thingy.  Not sure if it is the same one or not. 
31
32 This doesn't seem to affect everyone but it seems to affect some of us. 
33 It seems you are lucky and I'm hoping after going to a new .kde4 that
34 I'll have the same luck.  I've had times before where this helped.  Just
35 something in a config somewhere that causes problems.  Besides, I run a
36 somewhat weird setup anyway.  I'm old, that's my excuse and I'm sticking
37 with it.  LOL

39 Interesting info.  Makes one wonder.
