Dear maintainer:

KDE is migrating to Plasma5 and many things break in the process.
libqt5x11extras5 migrated into testing without their dependencies, but even after downgrading kdm did not work.
Computer cannot start normally, I have to start it with: startx startkde.
I tried to get a dm to work so installed lightdm, it did not work either.
Neither does sddm.
I completely purged lightdm, then issued command 'apt-get autoremove --purge', also removed all remnants in /usr/share.
Still, kdm starts and goes to a lightdm saved session, which of course fails.
I cannot understand how this can happen, as my system settings are set to start with a clean session.
How can I delete this saved session that is stuck somewhere?
I have been working on this for a while, some upgrades have been done to some nvidia packages and things improved somewhat, kdm still does not launch and goes to that saved session.
Please help.
