--- Comment #1 from Billy McCann <thebillywayne at gmail.com> ---
After upgrading KDE 4.12.2 to 4.12.3, many issues arose, all of which was
ameliorated by masking the upower service. 

I'm do not possess the proper KDE vocabulary concisely detail the symptoms. 
This will be a very unsophisticated bug report.  But I thought I should add my
"Me too!" since I had far different symptoms than the original bug reporter.

My xorg.log and xsession-errors files show nothing remarkable.  The only
pertinent error appears in kdm.log.

klauncher(3666) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started
the DBUS server. 
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
kdmgreet(3660)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize()
D-Bus call failed:  "Not connected to D-Bus server" 
Kdmgreet(3660)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): No time zone information obtained from
ktimezoned

Step 1: Login.  (Tested with KDM and XDM)
Observe that KDE Splash icons, which normally appear within 3-5 seconds, are
taking approximately a minute.  While still at the splash screen, KDE issues an
"alarm sound" and displays a message about not being able to regulate power
because there is no "appropriate handler" (sorry, i don't remember the exact
words; the error message disappears kind of quickly).

Eventually the desktop appears, only to disappear again, after which a message
is displayed which reads that plasma has crashed.  It seems as though plasma
restarts, and then the desktop is back. However, the entire desktop is
unresponsive. Attempting to launch Dolphin gives a launched feedlack (icon
bouncing near the cursor), but then it disappears and Dolphin has not launched.
Same with all of the applications.
