Subject:   elisa configuration: QQmlComponent: Component is not ready

I installed the pkg for the elisa music player to test a few things;
it mostly seemed to work.

However, after a system crash (unrelated), upon reboot when I start
X everything is gawd-awful slow because baloo_file_extractor is
running, apparently searching the world of my filesystem for what few
music scraps are there.  Killing the parent process running
   /usr/local/lib/libexec/baloo_file
solves the cpu munching.

Some searching says elisa can be configured not to do that, so I
hit the hamburger menu for configure elisa and I see the message:

QQmlComponent: Component is not ready

Apparently the package does not contain whatever is necessary to
deal with configuration.  It's not clear to me from the makefile in
audio/elisa what additional package might be needed.  USE_KDE
specifies baloo5 and configwidgets so it seems logical if baloo is
running the widgets required for configuration would also be present.

I seem to have a bunch of qt stuff installed but only
   kf5-kdeclarative-5.110.0
   kf5-kded-5.110.0
for kde, both of which are required only by the elisa pkg

It's not clear to me where the global config file for elisa is, nor
what the content possibilities are.  My local .config/elisarc shows
only:
   [ElisaFileIndexer]
   RootPath[$e]=$HOME/Music

   [UiSettings]
   ColorScheme=

$HOME/Music is missing stuff which was there when elisa was running
originally (stuff I've deleted).

Questions:

1. Is there a pkg I can install to get the config option to work?
2. Where is the global elisa config file, if it exists?
3. How to prevent the music indexer from running?
