I'm not familiar with Linux Kamarada, I don't know what differences there might be. So I would like to know first your repository list; run:

Please note that Linux Kamarada 15.4 is not out (yet). So I upgraded from Linux Kamarada 15.3 to openSUSE Leap 15.4. That's possible because Linux Kamarada 15.3 is based on openSUSE Leap 15.3 (hence the same version numbers).

TL;DR My repos are: Leap 15.4 defaults (same as Live system) + Packman + Kamarada 15.4 Dev

It seems ok, except this message on top I don't know about: Warning: The /etc/products.d/baseproduct symlink is dangling or missing! The link must point to your core products .prod file in /etc/products.d.

Also, run this concoction:

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \ | egrep -v "openSUSE Leap 15\.4|openSUSE_Leap_15.4|\-lp153|SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" | less -S

I don't have 15.4, so I'm guessing the filters: you may have to adjust them yourself.

I just changed the less -S part to output the result to a text file:

:-) There is a file already included in the concoction, named "rpmlist", but it is the entire unfiltered rpm list.

$ rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \ | egrep -v "openSUSE Leap 15\.4|openSUSE_Leap_15.4|\-lp153|SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" > concoction.txt

Here is the output: https://gist.github.com/vinyanalista/c228cfb99a3b741cfd152c0929965d95

You also said:

I booted with Leap 15.4 GNOME Live and compared its /etc/X11/xinit folder with mine. The xinitrc scripts were identical. I removed from my installation some packages that added files to the xinitrc.d folder (Cadence and virtualbox-guest-x11), but that didn't change the described behavior.

Are you running this machine as a virtual machine?

No. In this thread, everytime I refer to the Live system it's one I boot using Ventoy, as described here:

https://linuxkamarada.com/en/2020/07/29/ventoy-create-a-multiboot-usb-drive-...

Then why did you have virtualbox-guest-x11 installed? That might cause problems. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
