[solved] KDE: plasma dumped: Coredump of ... is larger than

Hi,

I can't start my KDE plasma-desktop anymore since yesterday; error message in journal:

Okt 17 19:12:21 dixi-arch systemd-coredump[1782]: Coredump of 1741 (plasma-desktop) is larger than configured processing limit, refusing.
Okt 17 19:12:22 dixi-arch systemd-coredump[1782]: Process 1741 (plasma-desktop) of user 1000 dumped core.

I've just a black screen

I don't see anything special in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

but I think, there was a reboot between 20:xx and 01:yy

downgrading of xcb-util, xcb-util-image, xdg-utils did not help

new user: same problem

Google also did not help me

I can start every application w/o problems via krunner, konsole(x-term)

Any Idea ?

Thanks a lot.

Edit:
output of plasma-desktop started in a terminal:

Re: [solved] KDE: plasma dumped: Coredump of ... is larger than

ok -solved

the problem of the test user was with lightdm (maybe UID 500); I was able to start KDE via startkde for the testuser.

For my user it was a corrupted .kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc

I remember, that I played with activities - will never do it again
