Created attachment 93627 [details] xsession-errors of plasma login-black-screen-crash Hi bug hunters I have a Lenovo T450s wich I use with a docking station. When docked I have a bigger Samsung SyncMaster connected as my second monitor - this setup works pretty well. The other day I tried connecting my Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid device to see how everything would react. Everything seemed fine until the next reboot/login where I had unplugged the Cintiq during reboot. Plasma seemed to start loading fine but halfway into the load progress my two screens in the "normal" setup both went black and plasma restarted to the login screen. After trying a lot of configuration juggling and rebooting I eventually gave up and cleared my ~/.config and ~/.local to fix the problem - not a desirable solution :) I think it can be reproduced by connecting a third monitor (not necessarily a Cintiq device) while plasma is running then do a reboot without the monitor/device attached and login to plasma. I kept the ~/.config, ~/.local and xsession-errors-crash.txt afterthe incident. The laptop is my bread-and-butter computer so haven't tried connecting any more than two monitors since then to avoid setting it all up again. I've attached the xsession-errors.txt that was written after the plasma login-black-screen-crash
