I knew I was forgetting something I had done when composing my OP. I switched between XDM and SDDM and rebooted more than once before beginning to compose. I repeated the to/from again now, and still only SDDM segfaults. Plasma still opens from XDM, and from startx after SDDM segfaults. I forgot before OP to try with an empty /etc/sddm.d/. I did that now, and SDDM is worked as far as it went. I had put three files in /etc/sddm.d/, one each for DPI, NUM and TTY. Putting NUM and TTY back kept SDDM working. DPI caused the segfault. All that was in it: [X11] ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp 120 I forgot the -dpi. :p Now with it working I'm up against my original objections to SDDM years ago, no way to type a username instead of selecting from a list of multiple users that don't belong there, and no way to explicitly specify via alphabetic characters matching usernames in config file which user(s) belong there.
