Thanks.

Setting 'Relogin=false' is fine. I have it set that way, too.

Anyway, based on your kde_settings.conf, you're using a complex setup
where you log in via X11 and then Wayland starts after login. While
this is possible, how about modifying it as shown below?

[General]
HaltCommand=halt
InputMethod=
Namespaces=
Numlock=none
RebootCommand=reboot

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=
User=

[Theme]
Current=breeze-openSUSE

[Users]
DefaultPath=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
HideShells=
HideUsers=
MaximumUid=60513
MinimumUid=1000
RememberLastSession=true
RememberLastUser=true
ReuseSession=true

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen
SessionCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session
SessionDir=/usr/share/wayland-sessions
SessionLogFile=.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log


However, many websites (in Japan, at least) state that sddm's Wayland
support is experimental and that this situation has not changed.

They say that if you absolutely must use sddm, you should use it with
X11.

Huh?
Are you a game user, by any chance?

Best Regards.
