Why are you starting plasmashell directly? And not using
startplasma-x11, the latter does all the init.
The second part of your description sounds like an incomplete installation.
Could you check if your packages are all installed properly or if they
have files missing (-> pkg check).
So, I've got things partially working, but it's not very good.
I created a .xinitrc containing:
kwin_x11 &
exec plasmashell
and then run startx.
I do get a plasma desktop with a Task Manager and an Application
Launcher. But the launcher is mostly empty (Favourites, Applications,
Thanks again for the reply.
When I do the .xinitrc change and run startx, I get the problem again.
If I do startx without the .xinitrc, then do the "exec ck.." bit from a
xterm, I also get the problem. But if I do startx and then run

As a side-note, can you make sure, that all your installed software
Thanks for replying, Tobias.
I'm not sure that I know how to do that. A bit of googling suggests
running startx from the console and then running plasmashell from an xterm.
When I do that, I get a good working desktop. I don't get the KDE window
manager though - I get my twm from startx.

does it work properly if you start plasma desktop via startx instead of sddm?

It turns out that the problem I described below was due to the wrong
NVidia driver being loaded. It appears that I now need to use the -390

doesn't crash and I get the login screen correctly.
But after I login, the screen goes
