Starting VLC on command line with "-vv" indicated that multiple QT5 modules were not available and were not in the dependencies. (Note: command line VLC did run as default when QT startup failed).
Manually installing libQt5Gui5, libQt5Multimedia,libQt5Sql5,libQt5Test5, libQt5V8-5,libQt5Widgets5,libQt5X11Extras5,libQt5XmlPatterns5,libqt5-qtbase,libqt5-qtdoc and libqt5-sql-mysql seemed to resolve the problem and restored the KDE-qt window.
Note that extra modules were likely installed to avoid time to "hunt" the exact modules needed randomly.
