SUMMARY userswitcher fails to switch users STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. install userswitcher applet 2. select other user OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT userswitcher switches user SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200917 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.7-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 530
Just confirming this on Archlinux with 5.19.5 currently. Also it was working fine a few weeks ago. Not sure when exactly it broke but probably with 5.19. Clicking "New Sessions" still goes to the login manager fine, it's just clicking on another user name that's broken. Only tested on X11 here.

Version 5.19.5 worked well until I updated packages listed here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/544807-org-kde-plasma-userswitcher-no-more-switches-users?p=2966872#post2966872
I installed the user switcher widget and it works for me, but there is no switch user option on login screen nor in the application launcher. Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200928 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.10-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4600
When using gdm instead of sddm to log in, the user switcher applet works.
Are you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.25 or later?

For myself (not the original reporter) I can say this has been working for some time now, with gdm, and I believe with sddm too.
