Hi Marc,
I have no idea if this is your problem, but I've regularly seen situations where two directories in a user's home directory become owned by root. These are
~/.cache ~/.dbus
I've seen it happen when I create a new user, the symptoms are a black screen with the cursor that can be moved by the mouse. Nothing else works. The fix has been to login as root and do a "chown -R username.users /home/username/.dbus" and again with .cache. I have no idea why this happens, but it's been a fairly regular occurrence for me since the start of the Leap series.

Hi Lew, thanks for piping in with your thoughts also! ;-) I checked those two directories and they (and their contents) are owned by me - marc:users Because I am mounting /home (it is in it's own partition) under both the old version of OpenSuSE15 that I upgraded in place, from OpenSuSE 42.3, and in the new version of OpenSuSE15 that I just installed, I don't think the issue is caused by anything in my home directories. They all work fine in the new version of OpenSuse15, but fail in the version I upgraded.
