Ok, I waited another 15 minutes, and got the crash window of
kactivitymanagerd (Seg Fault)

Another 10-15mins and I got the beautiful screen of locked KDE PA2:

I could not "catch" unlock using the hidden mouse, so executed `rpm -e
plasma-mobile-mouse` and rebooted as per:

After this reboot I get black-screen all the time after initial splash
screen [1] (interestingly, I can pan the screen Left/Right with arrow
keys)

The black-screen now unfortunately stays indefinitely (for good last 30mins).
I noticed with `top` that virtuoso-t is taking upto >75% CPU. Killing
it and nepomuk* did not cure the black-screen problem.
