If anyone have problems with Kubuntu/Karmic and CPU monitors

In case sonmeone else have troubles with this:

After updating to Karmic, I found CPU monitors plasmoids no longer displayed anything (they were just blank). Nor did network managers, and a lot of other applets. Today, I finally went digging: from the cpu plasmoid which turned out to be using the systemmonitor plasma engine, which in turn used the sysguard parts of kdelibs. Well, perhaps those libs were not installed or something. It turned out to be ksysguardd (recommended by ksysguard required by kubuntu-desktop) was not installed. Installing fixed my troubles, yay!

Admittedly, the Kubuntu upgrade program had crashed midway, so most of the upgrade was done by aptitude. So the blame is really that crash, or rather, that a subprocess-crash can kill the upgrade.
