 2 machines tested tested here.... fw 5.52 working well.  Testing a 3rd box shortly...
[00:24] <mparillo_> Added the PPA to a VM via the command line. After Discover calmed down, did the upgrade via Discover. Rebooted. Kicker and krunner appear to work. Konsole, System Settings, Kate, Ksysguard, and Discover seem to work, and kinfocenter reports 5.52. Thanks to you and Santa. 
 I tried finding something to verify in the fw 5.52 release notes, but most updates are fairly obscur and hard to test.... https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.52.0.php
