--- Comment #23 from Felix Miata <mrma...@earthlink.net> ---
I wish the previous two comments had come a week ago. In the past 7 days I
upgraded at least 30 installations hosting Plasma to latest releases, Fedora 32
& 34, openSUSE Tumbleweed, and Mageia 8. It would have been perfect timing to
test them all. Comprehensive tests to see if anything here in comments #0 or #1
remains reproducible will take some time.

Going back longer than I can remember, a bigger problem is never getting a
panel to open in the first place, in Fedora (31?,  32, 33), in openSUSE
Tumbleweed, and IIRC, also in Mageia (8?). This very moment, on host big31 with
Radeon HD6450, 5.73.0 on Fedora 33, just upgraded to from Fedora 32 last night,
is giving me no panel on session open. If it can't be opened, testing for
disappearance is made impossible. In this situation:

# kquitapp5 plasmashell
"Application plasmashell could not be found using service org.kde.plasmashell
and path /MainApplication."

Something must be missing, but I have no idea how to determine what.

In some cases of this I have found that emptying ~/.cache/ solves the problem.

WRT effect of disabling compositing, I'll have to have a panel to be able to
test for anything that might cause its disappearance. At least it doesn't block
starting a session, as it had been doing for some time.

In Mageia 8 on same PC with 5.75, item 23 in comment #0 is not reproducible.
Item 24 in comment #0 has no cancel button to click. Comment #1 is not
reproducible.

In Tumbleweed on same host, Plasma session only is installed, no KDE apps, no
SDDM, no systemsettings5 or LightDM, . It does start with compositing disabled,
and matches behavior of Mageia 8 regarding non-reproducibility for #0-23 and
#1.
