Community plasmoid broken

[talmage]

The Community plasmoid widget thingy is broken on my 64-bit Kubuntu 11.04 system. The last time it worked was sometime in the 10.04 era. I will gratefully receive any suggestions for fixing it.

The symptoms are these:

It opens with three tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages. I expect this.
There are no entries in the "Nearby" tab. When I log into opendesktop.org w/Firefox, I can see about a dozen people nearby in my town.
When I click on the configuration button, it shows me my username and obscured password for opendesktop.org.
When I click on the widget again, it there are more tabs! "Friends" and "Messages" are repeated twice each, giving me seven tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages.
When I click on the configuration button again, the username and password fields are empty.

It does indeed seem broken.

<zorael> Is the Community widget completely broken in 4.6.3? It seems to do nothing.
<annma> hmmm weird I tried it a few weeks ago and it was OK
<annma> how does one knwo he is logged in
<soee> zorael, not sure but it doesnt work for me either
<annma> neither for me
<zorael> :<
<annma> and this login stuff is very unintuitive
<zorael> the number of tabs keep growing, too
<annma> it's broken, damn damn
I don't see any "the whole widget is broken" bug entries over on the list of currently open Community widget bugs (https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=opendesktop|community) either.

Perhaps it needs to be reported! ;>

I reported it. It's bug #275306 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275306).
