Ok, so after today's update I can't log out of KDE, nor can I execute
"Lock", "New session", "Suspend", "Restart", "Shutdown". An unhelpful
dialog with "Malformed URL" message pops up and I am given a choice to
"OK" it or... I don't know, close with window "close" widget.

This is unacceptable.

Not being able to logout is a security issue and possible threat to
filesystem integrity if the user has to "hard reset" by pressing the
reset/power button

while i agree to the other rant when you need the power button just because you can't log out from whatever desktop on a Linux system the problem is in front of the screen

* CTRL+ALT+F2
* Enter "root"
* Enter password for root
* systemctl restart display-manager.service

and frankly you should run large updates including KDE anyways in a VT and not within the grapcial user session (at least as long as KDE5 is in general unstable like hell)

BTW: in better days CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE just killed the graphical sesssion until some fools declared it as a security problem because some foreigner could do that while you locked your session (that foreigner could press the power button too)

don't ask me where but i restored that behavior long ago (xorg config alone is not enough)
