In case someone else comes across this nonsense, definitely in the "not
a bug but a feature!" category...

To access KDE from the login menu I had to click on "Other" in the users
menu. Then the blank panel bar at the bottom of the screen fills up with
such familiar options as "language" and "sessions". Why should these be
hidden in this way?

I'm still trying to find the file where the login screen parameters are
stored:
