RQT command does not display plugins after clean install

Hello, I am working with Ubuntu 16.04 and ros kinetic. I am trying to experiment with Ros QT for designing an interface for my project. I haven't been able to get the rqt command to display the plugins that I have installed. I am a ROS newbie, so it is plausible that I made a mistake with how I installed rqt, but what I did was that I started with a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04, I followed the instructions listed here: http://wiki.ros.org/kinetic/Installation/Ubuntu and here http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment to verify ROS was installed correctly. I then ran the commands $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rqt ros-kinetic-rqt-common-plugins $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as instructed here http://wiki.ros.org/rqt/UserGuide/Install/Groovy When I run the command $rqt I only get a blank window with no text. I tried to verify that I had plugins installed by running $ rqt --list-plugins and I do get a populated list, and I can run the 'rqt_image_view' plugin directly from the command line. My question is why do I not see any options to run plugins from the rqt window? Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
