Interesting. I'm not sure if I built PAM on that system, but I am
fairly sure that I have used startkde in the past, left it, and been
able to get in - in fact, I do not recall the screen locker, I was
expecting to see xscreensaver.
I do think the screen locker is new. I haven't checked the settings for it.
You misunderstand - the build was from several months ago, when I
was trying to build it all in /usr (given the number of static libs
that get linked in, I decided that was not a great idea) and I have
not updated anything except glibc, the kernel, openssl (and probably
python3 when I recompiled it). So it seemed to be changed behaviour
in an existing system.
I first added plasma on Oct 28th but there were problems. I think the
version was 5.5.1 because I updated to 5.5.2 on Dec 28th.
Was the build before then?
I only noticed the screen locker with version 5.5.4. However I probably
didn't leave it up long enough before then for the screen to lock.

I think it was when only Armin's book had kde5 - looking at the
stamps in my first-stage backups, the basic system was LFS-7.8 and I
added kf5 5.14.0 and plasma 5.4.0. Like I said, it was *old* ;-)
I must admit, I was surprised at the monochrome icons on the main
menus (e.g. to select applications or whatever the other options
along the bottom are) when I first ran startkde - I had forgotten
that colour only came with later versions, at least in my builds
(that was probably because I added other dependencies over the
months).
I'll give the current version a try in a few days on my haswell, if I
don't throw opensuse out of the pram again - it looked ok, if rather
old (gcc-4.8) but would not install with less than its decided 58GB -
of that, only about 2GB was used, so I was stupid enough to believe
I could run parted (not gparted) to shrink it - I would still be
keying 'y' to e2fsck if I had not removed it [ ostensibly, a bad
superblock because bigger than the partitions, so the first question
is 'abort?' - only after that is 'y' required ]. All good
experience :-p
But first I've got to finish building on my i3 (nearly ready to
boot!) where I will (hopefully) confirm that the packages for which
I grabbed the tickets seem to work. Fortunately, I avoided llvm-3.8
(configure is now deprecated, which for me will mean a big
rearrangement of my build order).
OK. Now that 7.9 is out we can take our time. Fortunately a lot of the
packages that have built up over the last few weeks are relatively easy.
It will be a lot more difficult without Fernando though. I miss him.
