I got the impression in the meantime that the activation of the software
build option “CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH” triggered interesting effects.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.19/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH.html

Some software updates later - the menu entry “Plugin Manager” is displayed
as expected also on my test system (after such a build parameter was switched off).

Should any failures for the loading and integration of desirable modules/plugins
trigger corresponding clear warnings (or error messages)?


Will the chances grow to clarify any remaining open issues?
