F22/F23 KDE/Plasma freeze after login.

[linux guy]

Long time Fedora user, since RH8.

I upgraded my main workstation from F21 to F22.  F21 was totally stable and
great.  F22 has been nothing but trouble.

The main issue I have is session freezing that appears to happen right
before the KDE (Plasma) desktop is displayed.  I have this problem with
both nVidia and nouveau drivers.

The kernel seems to run fine.  I can ctrl alt F3 and start a console
session and it runs fine.  But I can't get a KDE (Plasma) session to run at
all.

How do I troubleshoot this ?

sure that it freezes?

on my machine it takes half a minute to display the desktop after type 
in username and password - that's a machine booting the whole OS and a 
ton of services including several mysql-instances within 17 seconds and 
so i guess on a not so powerful machine it may appear like it's freezed

no idea what takes that laughable long, frankly it's even not much 
faster after logout when the machine has all software and configs cached 
within the 16 GB RAM.......

I'm pretty sure it freezes.  I've left it over lunch and came back and
there is no desktop.

I just got it working by doing a "killall -9 drkonqi" and then logging in
again.

Now to get the nvidia drivers installed and test them.   RPM Fusion doesn't
have a fedora 23 repository, so I use rawhide ?

FYI, the computer won't boot with the nvidia drivers from rawhide
installed.  I'm stuck with nouveau.
