I don't have time to do a detailed reply right now, but I have a
question. How long does it take for the Plasma 5 desktop to come up
for you? When I tested (suing startx), it took a long time (about a
minute iirc), vs a couple of seconds for xfce.
Exec=/usr/share/xsessions/runPlasma5.sh
TryExec=/usr/share/xsessions/runPlasma5.sh
When I look at runPlasma5.sh, I basically see:
export KF5_PREFIX=/opt/kf5
# Set in /etc/profile
export QT5DIR=/opt/qt5
# Set in /etc/profile
export kdehome=$KF5_PREFIX
# see below
export PATH=/opt/kf5/bin:$PATH
# set in /etc/profile
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg:/opt/kf5/etc/xdg
# set in /etc/profile
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/opt/kf5/share
# set in /etc/profile
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/qt5/plugins:/opt/kf5/lib/plugins
# My paths are /opt/qt5/lib/qt5/plugins, /opt/kf5/lib/qt5/plugins
# Both set in /etc/profile
export QML_IMPORT_PATH=/opt/qt5/qml:/opt/kf5/lib/qml
# My paths are /opt/kf5/lib/qt5/qml, /opt/qt5/lib/qt5/qml
# Both set in /etc/profile
exec startkde

Looking at startkde, kdehome is only used for:
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$QT_PLUGIN_PATH:$kdehome/lib/kde5/plugins/
which translates to /opt/kf5/lib/kde5/plugins/ but on my system, I only
have: /opt/kf5/lib/qt5/plugins/
but it doesn't matter since QT_PLUGIN_PATH is set properly above.
Is the issue that sddm does not run /etc/profile?
When I was testing startx, I had in ~/.xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/kf5/bin/startkde
I'm not sure if that was right or not. Plasma5 started, but I didn't
find it very usable.
