Ok, seems like you are a lucky user who can run the session for several weeks
;-)

That was technically VT-launched vs Konsole-launched. Missed that you wanted
specifically a new session, rather than simply a comparison between bad vs
good.

I'll try to remember to grab the env and parent process next time I login (not
often, probably several weeks from now).

Interesting. That's kind of what I expected, but much more than I expected. The
KWin started through startkde does not have any of the required environment
variables set and is not part of the dbus session.

My guess is that kwin gets started before startkde. Can you check the parent
process? It should be ksmserver.

If you start through a DE, does it work correctly then?

--- Comment #2 from Luke-Jr  ---
Since I was unable to find any standard way to start KDE with startx, and I do
not wish to use a DM, I added "startkde" to my ~/.xsession file, and that seems
to get startx to work. So when I boot my PC, I now login to the VT and run
"startx", which AIUI then calls "startkde" (which I assume starts kwin_x11
somehow). This results in the switcher with bad font rendering (top
screenshot).

When debugging this issue, I was executing "kwin_x11 --replace" in Konsole (to
get good font rendering as in the bottom screenshot) and back in my original VT
(to go back to the bad font rendering; top ss).

Could you please explain what you mean with startkde and kwin_x11? How do you
start things?
