xorg, kde, black screen with cursor

Move the mouse into it to pass it the keyboard focus.

There's no mouse. Though it worked previously on this install using xterm and I can start LXQT perfectly ok.

Ok. So after a reboot the mouse worked. KDE started then fell back to xterm and there were a load of impossible to read messages because they were such small text. How do I copy the text from xterm window into a file?

You don't, but you can redirect the output: "startplasma-x11 > ~/startplasma.log 2>&1"

This is the output after running "startplasma-x11 > ~/startplasma.log 2>&1" from xterm:

Wild guess, purge dropbox.
