Hi Danche,

if I really rememer, I read some day, that the combination of sddm + plasma 
can get trouble, and it was not adviced, to use sddm, when using plasma 
( =kde). I am not quite sure, where I got this information, maybe it was here 
in thew forum or in the official documentation of sddm.

This information is about at least 1 or 2 years old, and maybe it is now no 
more valid. However, if there is still trouble, I suggest to use lightdm, 
which is running perfectly with all window managers.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Hans
