Well, it's the black screen which says "fedora" at the bottom. Maybe

console with CTRL-ALT-F3. Oddly enough, I can log in on this virtual
console, run startx, and get a plasma screen.
So your initial, frozen session is at console #2? What happens if you switch back to it? I didn't mention that in my previous mail, but that's what the "salvation" process is: switch to another virtual console and then back again.
Is your 2nd plasma session fully operational as you'd expect?
No, it goes back to the black screen with a cursor, non-responsive.
If I "killall" in F3 and switch back to F2, I see the login screen. If
I enter my password, the screen freezes. After some time, it turns
black and displays only the cursor.
Maybe looking at the timestamps of the *rc and *.ini files in ~/.config refreshes your memory of those last changes you made!
I'm going to recreate my home directory from scratch, as before, and
track the changes I make. Maybe there will be a clue.
