The backstory: I bought a new el-cheapo multi-function printer-scanner today and as a consequence installed sane, xsane, and kdegraphics-ksaneplugin. I did all that while logged into my usual window manager, dwm. All was fine.
Then I wanted to try the kde plugin, so logged into kde desktop and was presented with what appeared to be the blue screen of death (sometimes black). Plasma seems to start fine, i.e., splash screen goes through its usual motions, then the blue/black screen appears when the desktop usually does.
Can you kill plasmashell and start it again from the terminal, and provide output? i.e from krunner (alt+f2) open konsole, killall plasmashell && plasmashell -- Bhushan Shah http://bhush9.github.io IRC Nick : bshah on Freenode
