Description of problem: The update to xorg-x11-server* 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 causes two *new* problems: 1. KDE now often comes up (after boot and first login) without any widgets on the external monitor (=primary display), just showing the KDE menu, and with the LVDS having a black background but otherwise working. I found that a logout/login cycle often fixes this problem. Possibly unrelated, plasmashell then crashed at kde login, as I reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353681 2. Also, KDE (or its kscreen component) with the new xorg has more difficulty to decide where the primary display is located -- during KDE startup (first startup after reboot), the primary display (KDE panel, widgets etc.) is being visibly moved from LVDS to the external monitor. These problems did *not* exist with the previous xorg-x11-server* version (1.17.1-11.fc22). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg.x86_64 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 xorg-x11-server-Xwayland.x86_64 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 xorg-x11-server-common.x86_64 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 xorg-x11-drv-libinput.x86_64 0.14.0-1.fc22 How reproducible: Every time. After boot/first login to KDE, one or more logout/login cycles are needed to eventually get a fully working desktop. Steps to Reproduce: - Boot into kernel 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 (with newer fedora kernels from 4.1.4 ... 4.1.6, the external monitor does not work at all !!!) - Login to KDE takes a long time: - First, dolphin windows appear CENTERED on the composite (LVDS + ext. monitor) display (NEW BEHAVIOR with this xorg) - KDE desktop is briefly shown on wrong screen (LVDS) - Shortly thereafter, KDE desktop (including wallpaper and widgets) reappears briefly on the external monitor - Finally, KDE desktop looks as follows (broken): - External monitor: - Desktop background and widgets have disappeared - KDE panel and menu are present and working - LVDS: - Black background, but windows moved to it are displayed - Logout/login again (test 1) - The KDE desktop appears correctly - External monitor shows wallpaper and widgets - LVDS shows background (blue graphical pattern) - KDE menu does NOT work (does not open when I click on it) - No Logout/Restart/Shutdown buttons - But after a couple of minutes, KDE menu suddenly DOES work - Logout/login again (test 2) - The KDE desktop appears correctly - External monitor shows background (wallpaper) and widgets - LVDS shows background (blue graphical pattern) - KDE menu DOES work immediately Actual results: - After boot, first KDE login - creates and then relocates the primary display (slow) - results in broken desktop (missing widgets) - centers most windows on the edge between LVDS and external monitor - Need one or more logout/login cycles to get a working desktop Expected results: - KDE login should create the primary display directly on configured monitor - After boot, first KDE login should - result in a working desktop - recreate windows wherever they were at logout

I started having a similar problem after the last Xorg update (1.17.2-2) on a single display setup (KDE takes a long time to start after login; the screen is black with multiple messages stating that Plasma has crashed). I am using Nvidia proprietary drivers. Rolling back to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.1-11.fc22.x86_64 seems to fix the problem.
I no longer think that the update to xorg-x11-server* 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 was the culprit. The strange behavior of the KDE desktop started around Oct. 5, when I had also updated to KDE frameworks 5.14 (kf5* 5.14.0-1.fc22). Upgrading to KDE frameworks 5.15 resolved these problems for me, see Comment 14 on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269004 plasma-workspace 5.4.1-3-fc22 has a delay over 20 seconds upon login
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
