Well, those didn't help much directly except to give me some more info on other things I need to have working correctly. The wiki page that helped me, this one. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogind I read down to the part about Pam under Troubleshooting, close to the bottom. I was missing a file with a single line. The other file and line was there. This is what was missing, file name and contents. root@Gentoo-1 / # cat /etc/pam.d/elogind-user session optional pam_elogind.so root@Gentoo-1 / # I can't logout right now but that is next, when I can stop some things long enough to do so. This is the current output of XDG variables. Note the missing RUNTIME one. The file creations hasn't taken effect yet. root@Gentoo-1 / # env | grep "XDG" XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/home/dale/.config/kdedefaults:/etc/xdg XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session1 XDG_MENU_PREFIX=plasma- XDG_SEAT=seat0 XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user XDG_VTNR=7 XDG_SESSION_ID=37 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share root@Gentoo-1 / # Oh, I also checked USE flags mentioned in your links, I had those correctly set. I had elogind enabled and systemd disabled. According to your links, I had that right at least. No clue how that file and that one line was missed. Maybe I caught a ebuild at a bad moment. Just to mention, I had to go back to previous version of plasma packages to fix other things I was having trouble with. I'm sure the devs are working hard on it but for some reason, my rig did not like that update at all. It had issues. Maybe the next one will be better. Thanks for the links. It lead me to a possible solution. I hope anyway. I'll post back if it works. Dale :-) :-)
