Hi,
I recently ran into similar issues. I did some looking around, and discovered
that KDE/KF5 was trying to use DBUS to get account information, and failing. I
installed sysutils/accountsservice and I find a massive difference in how it
runs. For one thing, startup is much quicker. For another, my CHARSET and LANG
settings from /etc/login.conf are respected.
I'm beginning to think there should be a dependency on sysutils/
accountsservice for x11/kde5.
Improved startup time and use of login.conf does sound good, but
accountsservice requires polkit. Personally, I'm not a fan of polkit,
because of it's suid pkexec linked with larger libs and because it
doesn't seem to be that actively maintained.
