I did "try and run plasma and kwin from xfce" thing and plasma worked,
but kwin caused a lock-up. As I was running from the command line I saw
the messages from kwin and basically there were just four lines which
more or less said :
1. The GL vendor is NVIDIA Corporation
2. The GL renderer is <my graphics card identifier>
3. The GL version is 2.1.2 NVIDIA 270.41.06
4. The driver is nvidia version 270.41.06
After that : total lock-up.
At that point I realised that in running nvidia driver version 270..., I
had leap-frogged Slackware's (unofficially) packaged nvidia driver which
was 260.... I uninstalled the 270 version, installed the Slackware
package and found that everything worked just fine from the outset,
apart from the need to put back some desktop backgrounds and a
quicklaunch widget.
The moral is : don't try and be smarter than the guys building your distro.
Thanks again for you interest Duncan.
