--- Comment #3 from Tristan Miller <psychon...@nothingisreal.com> ---
I can reproduce this issue, and concur that long environment variables such as
LS_COLORS seem to be the trigger.  My .bashrc file exports a LS_COLORS variable
that is 7869 bytes long.  With KDE 4, this caused no problems.  With KDE 5, the
presence of this variable prevents me from logging in.  I end up with a black
screen that is unresponsive except for the mouse pointer, and my
.xsession_errors contains the same "kdeinit5: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set."
error mentioned by the reporter.  Removing the variable definition from
.bashrc, or reducing its length, allows me to log in.

Please consider reopening this bug report.  An LS_COLORS variable of a few
kilobytes is not particularly long, and not particularly uncommon.  It should
not lock up a desktop environment.
