All you need to do is Just change the session type to kde plasma like as if you wanted to change to gnome or lxde. You should only need to do this once.

1. KDM does not work. The greeter fails.
Discussed on opensuse-kde list more than once.
So I see, googling to find the archives. I'm not ready to subscribe to every application-list -- that would be overwhelming, so I'm grateful to the people on *this* list who specialize
Up to you. Resources are thin. KDE experts subscribed there don't seem to pay as diligent attention here.
KDE remains the default session type on a fresh KDE installation, but
KDE is no longer a valid session type. O_O
You must select Plasma as a session type if you want a KDE DTE. :-p
I'm not sure what you are getting at here? Is this KDM or systemsettings where its Plasma or plasma-notebook?
At the greeter.
It was suggested that /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager's DEFAULT_WM= plays a part in this insanity.
Well that's confusing. Some people seem to find 'startkde' (which is what I had) works, others didn't and used 'kde4'. I tried both and neither worked.
However this is all moot now. I was using 'startx' but something I did while trying to fix the above and the T'bird/FF menu delay problem has hosed X11. I now get
/etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started. sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method) Trying to start an input method for the locale en.US-UTF-8 ... There is no input method for the current locale. Dummy input method "none" (do not use any fancy input method by default) xinit: connection to X server lost
This has me completely flummoxed. What now?
Get KDM to work for now, as it doesn't seem to have that problem. I ran into this mere days ago and so far haven't figured out any other solution that I can recall ATM. I was thinking /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-* may have something to do with it, but never followed through. You might want to ensure Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev pointer catchall" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection exists either somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or in xorg.conf. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
