Hmm, strange... I'm daily using SDDM to start my Plasma5 session.
The only difference I could see is that I'm usind sddm.service instead of the default prefdm.service ...

CC'ing Mageia tools maintainers as I believe this might be another drakdm configuration issue.

I'm also using SDDM daily to start plasma5, with the default config AFAICT (though I've used drakdm twice to switch to LightDM for a time and then back to SDDM a couple months ago). My cauldron is quite old now though so it might not exhibit the same behaviour as yours, especially if some config files are involved.

I normally use LXDM and log into Plasma - always worked, still works.
A couple months ago, I was briefly testing different DE and DM.
While there were quirks, it was not this bad then.
( After long time not tested other DM, today I tested different DM to see if it matters to Bug 19318: No )

Maybe the issue is worse when having several DM/DE installing and updating over time, and it is possible there have been a bug that now is fixed that wrecked some configuration - i dont know how these things work, just an idea...

This seem to be solved, at least for me.
