After every possible thing I could think of , I removed all KDE and
reinstalled it, no joy, exactly the same. Time to reinstall F34, and
this is when I discovered that it is nearly impossible to reinstall
F34 on a btrfs system without reformatting /home too (!?) I thought
that was to point of having /home on a different partition (which
looks like it during install but it isn't in btrfs, I didn't know
that). Having TWO full backups i started from scratch and reinstalled,
and this time "standard partition" and "xfs" I don't think
I'll touch
btrfs again until the Fedora installer can deal with this absurdity.
And now, back in business, writing this in my new KDE!
Thanks for the update. I've been having a lot of problems with KDE since
upgrading, too. Sounds like I need to do a fresh install.
