SUMMARY
startx with .xinitrc containing startkde fails to show a desktop.
I have NO idea where this bug really belongs because KDE appears to be stuck
somewhere in it's initialization processing.
This is a Fedora 30 x86_64 distribution.
kde-workspace-common-4.11.22-23.fc29.noarch is as close as I can come to where
the problem possibly exists.
Are there other files you need to see?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. startx
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Splash screen appears with a small circle chasing itself. Finally this ends and
a blank screen appears. The mouse works and displays a cursor-pointer but
NOTHING else appears.
Is there a hidden trick to get kde to show more of what it's doing? What
processes should be running when kde is behaving "normally"? Is there a log
other than Xorg.0.log? /var/log/messages shows nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
a fully operational kde desktop
