This happens changing the window decoration to certain other windows decorations like Simplicity and Diamond. With Qtcurve Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to System Settings -> Workspace Appearance -> Window Decoration 2. From "Get new Decorations" install: 'Simplicity' or 'Diamond' select it and hit apply 3. Log out and try to Log in again to your account Actual Results: kde stops loading and the display freezes. I can still access my virtual terminals and kill Xorg process. If, then, I delete my ~/.kde directory and repeat the log-on everything will been reset, as expected, but kde will load with no issues. Expected Results: To finish loading and present the desktop in a functional state. While kde has stopped loading, executing TOP through a virtual terminal I can see that my CPU is almost idle.
- does the display "unfreeze" when you press "Shift+Alt+F12"? - can you reproduce this with eg. the "laptop" decoration? (There's a capped "With Qtcurve" sentence ;-)
Hi. - No, the display does not unfreeze when I press "Shift+Alt+F12". - Changing to 'Laptop' or 'Qtcurve' windows decoration does not create any problem. I've checked them both and I could logout - login to my account without issues.
does it also affect the "plastik" decoration? (there's either a problem in qml processing or the aurorae decoration - i'm not just keeping you busy ;-) are there by any chance qml related warnings in ~/.xsession-errors?
you are not by any chance running an input methods mechanism?
Yes, iBus. It is running ( I see an indicator in System Tray ) and I do not know why. I do not remember it to be there a few days ago.

One last thing: Yes, changing to Plastik it gave me the same issue as Diamond or Simplicity. This is the .xsessions-errors: xrdb: "Xft.lcdfilter" on line 2 overrides entry on line 1 Script for ibus started at run_im. Script for auto started at run_im. Script for default started at run_im. init: update-notifier-crash (/var/crash/_usr_lib_virtualbox_VirtualBox.0.crash) main process (21021) terminated with status 1
