SDDM problems

Well actually it is KDM problems.
KDM seems to need KDE4.  See the thread on KDE4/Qt4 removal.
Well the KDM I have needs KDE4.
Even though I'm using "5" or KF5 as much as possible.
But KDM seems problematic.
maybe its a repository problems.

The basic OS is 42.3.

Along the way I keep trying to use SDDM instead, but despite library updates and
SDDM updates I hit the same problem

The login screen comes up with my name there asking for password.  But if I
adjust anything, try altering any of the pull-downs or try typing in the
password everything freezes.  Nothing work, no way to input or delete or
pull-down.  Cursor moves but nothing works.  no way to log in. NOTHING.

I have to go to a VT term and change /etc/sysconfig/display to lightdm or xdm
and reboot.

Looking that the processes on the hot-keyed VT: no SDDM isn't in a spin loop,
its just frozen.

Frustrating as I don't even know what to look for next.
Why shouldn't it work?
I can imagine kedeinit failing and bumping back to the login manager, but this
isn't that.  It SDDM *freezing*.

Suggestions?

Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
