In a previous thread I mentioned the strange issue on Plasma DE that prevented me to start
NetworkManager and use the power options as user. So I tried to see whether my consolekit
session was active or not, but % ck-list-sessions gave me no output at all! So I thought
that a .xsession file was needed and edited it adding "exec ck-launch-session
startplasma-x11". On reboot I was able to connect to my wireless network as user, and
all the power options were back and working! Of course it's only a workaround, because
I really don't know why sddm could not get consolekit to start normally, but at least
my DE is usable now. Hope this helps.

Hey Max, you are right, indeed I spoke too soon. I have the same issue, those
buttons actually bring me back to the sddm greeter but when I confirm the shutdown/reboot
the system freezes. I really suspect that sddm is the culprit, hopefully the Plasma
maintainer will find a fix.

This appears to be another xsession issue like what we fixed with MATE.
The /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop needs to have
Exec=/usr/bin/ck-launch-session startplasma-x11 in order to start
correctly from sddm. However, after trying this it seems the newly
available shutdown and reboot options from inside Plasma do not work
correctly - was that your experience as well? I will probably need to
hand this over to our Plasma maintainer at this point.
