I've also verified that while being logged into KDE following command:

$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --rotate left

crashes X11 server and I'm back into SDDM login window. I tested this to 
remove any doubt if KDE framework here (thorough display config) is the 
culprit or not.

Now, I'm pretty confident that this issue happened last week (7 days) or 
so since this is my debian testing and I've been using it more recently 
hence also updating every using day. The question is: where to report 
that to get some fix?

Thanks,
