Thank you for the comments. What I'm having most difficulty with is finding debugging information when something goes wrong. For example, KMail hangs as soon as I start it up requiring a force-quit. However, I can't find anything in journalctl or the console indicating what went wrong. So that defeats any attempts at filing a bug report. If I knew how to identify failing components (for all I know, it could be a configuration error), then that would be extremely useful for everyone.
