Now plasma-workspace 5.6.3-1

Still strange.  The environment does not change, before and after running
startplasmacompositor.
systemd does not clear the files in /tmp/, just logging out and in again, so
/tmp/ files do not seem a likely cause.

I fixed my problem with plasmshell not starting automatically.  That was caused
by a fragile and obfuscated startkde, not setting XDG environment variables,
when XDG_CONFIG_DIRS has already been set in .bash_profile to some incompatible
value.  startkde has:

# TODO: Use GenericConfigLocation once we depend on Qt 5.4
scriptpath=`qtpaths-qt5 --paths ConfigLocation | tr ':' '\n' | sed
's,$,/plasma-workspace,g'`

which can, apparently, fail when XDG_CONFIG_DIRS has already been set.  But
that is a separate issue.

Any thoughts about how to make plasmashell produce some actually usable
debugging output, describing why it has "hung", and not started the other kde
background processes?
