Hello.
I am sorry that I will not be able to help you more than with the description
to reproduce this (as long as you do not have the same snapshot under hand with
a machine running a Nvidia Graphicscard with nouveau drivers) - in that way I
am sure and certain you have my very same condition.
That snapshot came out with that particularity. The dialogue came up very very
straightforward. I had "desktopview" on my main desktop. The very default
outlay of Tumbleweed (no magic, no particularity). After the update (and
reboot) for that snapshot, there was that behavior from then on: left click on
the desktop icon to open /home folder you would be presented the dialogue to
input the root password. Of course I did NOT do this. I said cancel. Now the
funny thing: that opened a window of dolphin anyway, claiming to be ...
superuser dolphin but ...afaik without superuser rights. I was able e.g. to
open files in the root directory (rc for example) folder but they would open
read only. Why I did this: well I wanted to know if, without password, if
dolphin superuser was written (having canceled the password) I would have been
superuser. AFAIK no.
That circumstance persisted up to the next snapshot (currently it is not any
more the case, but now the have the mimetype "screwed up" so that, when you
open /home it would open with gwenview). So if the error is interesting to you
: I am quite sure there should be the archives of that snapshot. And it should
give that error.
With the rolling releases and their speed you have unfortunately that
limitation of repeatability.
However since this was repeatable always and since clicking on "properties"
would crash plasma, that did ring an alarm bell (always rings when a root
password is asked without reason, sorry for the paranoia) and that was the
motivation to report the bug.
So to reproduce: left click with the mouse on the home folder of desktop view
of that snapshot (that is normal folder selection - every day task) and that
will reproduce this problem. Furthermore any right click on the icon crashes
plasma with the report I did sent in.
With that particular snapshot I can confirm that it was repeatable - always.
Sorry for not having more to give you. But since the desktop is still there,
updated of course, please tell me if you want to have some log, some config or
whatever else. Happy to help whenever I can.
