OK, I see the one you added.  In the meantime, I saw that you were
using ck-launch-session for lxqt.  I don't recall using that command
recently, so I reworked my own bootscript (its problems were listed
earlier :) to only run 'ck-launch-session sddm'.  I had been in
runlevel 3 with icewm-session run from .xinitrc, so no ck, polkit,
etc.  I then tried to start my bootscript, and the results appeared
encouraging: from the greeter, suspend (to RAM) worked and reboot
worked (but I tried poweroff before reboot and that did NOT seem to
work).

But after the reboot I removed the symlinks from my initscript and
edited my sddm-start script (used to be 'dbus-launch sddm', now
'ck-launch-session sddm').  I also edited my inittab to invoke that
script in runlevel 5.  Pain - only the login icon appeared.  Back to
runlevel 3, then tried /etc/rc,d/init.d/sddm start : again, only the
login icon. :-(

( I know Bruce doesn't see any need for suspend on a desktop, but I
use it to save leccy and heat, and I also invoke pm-suspend from a
command line or script so that I can leave a build running and let it
suspend when the script either completes or fails.)

For the moment, I suppose the most useful thing I can do is get my
theme ready for a pre-release.  It's nothing special, just a picture
of a butterfly in my garden with a box for entering user name and
password, and selecting the desktop, and one or more icons.  <Enter>
works for login (or the icon), but everything else needs CK and
polkit to get the icons for poweroff and reboot, and upower with
pm-suspend for suspend).

And I need to add a reminder that, from the greeter, Ctrl-Alt-Fn
(where n is from 2 to 6) will take you to a tty where you can run
'telinit 3' if it is too broken to use, or 'telinit 0' to power off.
Perhaps I should also point out that people need a .desktop file in
/usr/share/xsessions.
