After providing the login name and password, the splash screen replete with its progress bar appears. If one watches it carefully, one sees that it is segmented into six stages: the first happens almost instantly, the next two almost as one, then the fourth and, after a longer pause, the fifth, and...
Sometimes the sixth appears, sometimes it does not. In both cases, the KDE desktop appears.
The question:
Has everything loaded okay, even though the sixth stage was never reached before the appearance of the desktop?
(Note: this happens on both of my computers, but a few daily upgrades ago, it did not, ie., the sixth stage did appear.)
I just noticed that when the sixth stage is not executed, then the audio volume widget does not appear in the system tray.
Logging out and back in again caused stage six to run and the audio volume widget appeared, as it is configured to do.

See the thread "long delays on kde startup". Running "systemctl stop firewalld" before logging in stops the long pause in the login slider for me. Not sure why yet.
