The only strage things I've found in the jounarlctl for the today's boot are:

   Sep 04 09:18:58 colord[969]: (colord:969): Cd-WARNING **: failed to
   get session [pid 815]: Unknown error -2

repeated 6 times but I can't find if this helps or not.

Of course also the entry about the firewall listed below.

the only strange thing dmesg spotted is a set of (repeated) request from/to my
machine blocked by the firewall

    - from my machine to 224.0.0.251 repeated 24 times (protocol UDP spt=dpt=5353)
    - from 192.168.1.254 to my machine repeated 8 times (protocol UDP spt 1900 dpt various)
    - from my machine to my machien (?!?) repeated 10 times (protocol tcp spt 39076 dpt
      43446)
    - from my machine to 255.255.255.255 repeated 4 times (protocol UDP spt=dpt=17500)
    - from my machine to 192.168.1.255 repeated 4 times (protocol UDP spt=dpt=17500)

These requests could be those delaying KDE to start but I don't know
what process is responsible for them, if it is a necessary request and
so I have to opne the firewall or if it is unnecessary and I could remove
the service generating it.

I'll give it a read.
