You're not telling which Display Manager you're using.

Please check with drakedm
http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/drakedm.html

which one you're currently using.

Please, when that happens again, do also attach journalctl.txt that is the result of running, as root,

  journalctl -ab > journalctl.txt

right after you got the desktop up by switching to tty2 and back.

Is this bug still valid with 6RC?

yes

I fail to see what goes wrong after those DEs get started from SDDM... neoclust will know better what to look for.... assigning to him.
