Comment # 4 on bug 1216065 from Kevin Donovan

Thank you for you investigation and helpful comments.

The problem appears to be on my end.  Before I explain why I'm sure about this,
I'll answer some of your questions.

I haven't used cockpit for anything.  I can log into gnome with gdm without
problem, and I can log into plasma (wayland or x11) with sddm.  The problem
arises only when trying to log into plasma from gdm.  I'm using the 'targeted'
policy of selinux; I think this is the default.

I'm using Tumbleweed, which I update every day, so I'm using the current
versions of gnome and kde.

Also, I'll add that I ran 'restorecon -r /home/donovan' (my home directory),
and it did not help.  I have tested on two different machines, both running
Tumbleweed, and they both have the problem.  The plasma setup is similar on
both machines.

However, there is something wrong with my configuration.  To test this, I used
Yast to create a new user.  I then logged out, and tried to log into plasma
wayland as this new user, using gdm.  There was no problem.  I did not test it
extensively, so it might break with further use, but there's no reason to think
so.

I'll try to fix this later.  I may just delete my plasma configuration files,
log in, and then recreate them as best I can.

In any case, you'll probably want to close this bug.
