           Summary: When SDDM theme crashes, user is left with useless

"whoops i broke the computer"

SUMMARY

I believe this is quite severe - unless a user knows how to toggle to a
different virtual console (ctrl alt f1, f2, ...) then they may believe they
"broke their computer".

SDDM really needs a default/stable login screen that it can fall back to.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using plasma settings, set sddm login screen to C64-Classic-Fancy (I am not
picking on this particular theme, though I will file a separate lower prio
issue about themes in the selector)
2. Reboot (or restart X)

OBSERVED RESULT

End up on the screen shown in attachment with a large virtual keyboard and no
UI. (For context this is a 34" monitor, so the keyboard size is absurd in any
scenario.)
