32bit TW plasma session produces mouse pointer on black screen

This is on a P4 on i845G chipset, old and slow. IceWM works fine. TDE on identical
hardware works fine.

Is there any plasma-specific session logging anywhere for finding clues to the
problem? I see KDE stuff in the journal, but all mixed up with other stuff. Grepping
kde in journal produces this:
