Yes, the KDE and XFCE desktops run as the same user, and have done so without problem for over a decade – so I don’t think that would be likely to lead to a sudden mid-session failure.
Yes I do mean a different TTY (Ctrl-Alt-F3).
Will try adding a new user to see what happens — If that works, do you think it would be useful to try removing ~/.local/state
?
