So on that note, now that I have KDM working, I have again tried to bring up the various different window managers, using the menu selection that KDM is now giving me in the login window. All but the icewm are still failing, giving me the error message that KDEINIT5 failed.
What do ps -A | grep dm and rpm -qa | grep dm and systemctl status display-manager report? These need a clear answer before dup'ing is warranted. Do you still want this info? I think I got this piece of the puzzle Still might help.

figured out and working now.... Baby steps!!! Now back to figuring out why my KDE desktop is still sick... ;-) Marc... Nothing in zypper output suggests to me that zypper dup would fix the kdeinit5 failure. If sddm remains installed, it could be playing a part in kdeinit5 failure, but this is only guessing. If it's still installed, remove it and try again. No joy after removing sddm packages... :-(
If it doesn't help, I'd go ahead and ping the experts on the opensuse-kde list for what to try next. When you do, remind them what /var/lib/systemd/coredump contains when you point to this thread, and attach the output from 'journalctl -b | grep kdeinit' taken after one try to login to Plasma after a fresh boot.
Okdokey! Will start a thread on the opensuse-kde list... Hopefully will get to the bottom of this eventually! And will keep monitoring this thread in this list as well, in case there are any more bright ideas that spring up... Thanks for all your help...
