Is it possible start applications within the KDE plasma desktop without
them having kdeinit5 as a parent/grandparent process?
I tried opening iceweasel from krunner and from the K menu it works perfectly.
How does one open iceweasel from krunner on a KDE plasma desktop?
Have you ried creating a new user from scratch and testing what happens there?
I should try that soon.
The problem appears to be related to how kdeinit5 or its dependent
libraries behave, which can result in the lock-ups I've experienced when
when some upgrades have taken place.
At the moment I can run iceweasel alright from KDE plasma desktop but
there appears to be some underlying issues that aren't handled properly.
Thanks again for your help!
