Not sure what you mean by "my sessions are restarted from a
saved session", but you could try and see if your Plasma 5.4.3
is working with a newly created user. If successful, try to
hide away the KDE configuration of your existing user to a
safe place.
See "System Settings-->Workspace-->Startup and Shutdown-->Desktop
Session" and the "On
Login" section.
I already blew away all my settings and have started from scratch. See the "Fedora
22
updates for KDE Plasma 5.4.3 and KDE Frameworks 5.16.0" thread.
In my case, Plasma 5.4.3 did not like my old KDE configuration
(I don't know which part) -- I only got a stable desktop after
doing a KDE config clean sweep.
My current user is pretty much a "new user" after blowing away my configs. If
the minimal
changes result in this behavior I'm disappointed.
Another idea is to install the kdebugsettings package from
updates-testing (I believe), run the kdebugsettings app and
remove the "global disable" rule. Then have a look at the
errors in ~/.xsession-errors after login.
You mean the custom rule "*.debug=false"?
I guess I can try that. Not sure how valuable the information in that file will be to
me. :-)
