The bug I originally was trying to report prevented the X server from
displaying anything on the screen. I am not able to reproduce that
behavior after a reboot. It's possible I did not wait long enough for the
display manager to start up.
That said, the reported error in the log is still present, suggesting that it
is unrelated to the symptom I was originally trying to report. The
severity of this bug (i.e., the one whose information is actually mentioned in
the bug report) is at most minor, and perhaps should be
reassigned to SDDM, since it seems to be related to properly setting up the
session.
Thanks,
Antonio
