I don't really have any issues with SDDM itself, it seems to work. Although when I'm at the login screen and I click the power button I was expecting a menu to pop up asking whether I wanted to restart or shutdown, and it proceeded to shut down on me... I rarely do this from the login screen so not a huge issue for me. I have noticed a couple weird things. I wanted to add a network "place" in dolphin, and it didn't do it - but it added it to the K menu's computer tab and now I can't figure out how to remove it from there. Oh, I was messing around with panels again and accidently removed the entire task bar again -_- but KDE popped up a nice big undo button for me! That was kind of nice. Everytime I upgrade I always forget and remove the whole panel and not the widget... One other issue is Clementine's nifty tray icon is gone, replaced by some weird kde5 generic thing. Anyone know how I can get the original one back? I used it frequently as it had more than the pause/forward/back that the generic kde one has. Dan
