Complete uninstall of KStars and INDI, re-installed.
Cleaned out the .indi and .local/share/kstars folders
Downloaded KStars from Github
Recompiled
At this point, application was broken like it was. Then I applied the patch. Still broken, but with new error around the Status LED.
Thinking that the problem was related to threading, I extended the Blocking Queue and Queued Connections to the individual components. This appears to have worked.
