OK here is some output running plasma-desktop from a shell trying another 
Plasmoid:

I doubt this will help much, so I tested with the same plasmoid  and manually 
unpacked it and ran "plasmapkg -i" against that folder:

@localhost tmp]$ plasmapkg -i 100348-plasma-applet-magic-folder_1.2.3
Successfully installed /home/g6avk/tmp/100348-plasma-applet-magic-folder_1.2.3

As you see that works.
