Yes, switching init in Debian is difficult. However, if you persist, it should work out -- you will be able to reinstall plasma-workspace on top of libpam-elogind once systemd is removed. > Is there something I can try, to reproduce the problem on Debian?

So the bug is present on non-systemd systems (Debian or Devuan) and it will be present in bullseye with sysvinit. systemd --user hides it or works around it. Thanks for investigating more. Mark
