I found a bit more info that looks relevant to this thread/issue, that I thought I would also post. In my home directory, there is apparently a .xsession-errors file that also contains ominous looking info - bigbang:/home/marc # cat .xsession-errors-\:0 startkde: Starting up... /usr/bin/startkde: line 353: 3445 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper --kded +kcminit_startup startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation. but perhaps this is a result of the error reported by Xorg. Looking at line 353 in /usr/bin/startkde I see the following code - 350 351# We set LD_BIND_NOW to increase the efficiency of kdeinit. 352# kdeinit unsets this variable before loading applications. 353LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper --kded +kcminit_startup 354if test $? -ne 0; then 355 # Startup error 356 echo 'startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation.' 1>&2 357 test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null 358 xmessage -geometry 500x100 "Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation." 359 exit 1 360fi 361 FWIW this is apparently the source of the pop-up dialog message, that I sometimes was seeing, about failing to start kdeinit5... I dunno how to pursue this line of research any further however, start_kdeinit_wrapper is not a script but a binary file...
