--- Comment #1 from James <ja...@nurealm.net> ---
Talking with Martin, there seems to have been some misunderstanding that this
OOM issue had something to do with a simultaneously running Xorg server.  After
testing, this is not the case.  A KDE Wayland session will run along side a
running Xorg server without problem.  And even without a simultaneously running
Xorg server, start_kdeinit_wrapper, in /usr/lib/startplasma, *will* hang/freeze
unless kinit is compiled with KDEINIT_OOM_PROTECT unset.

Also, there is an AUR package, kinit-nooom, which only patches
src/kdeinit/kinit.cpp, and does not touch src/start_kdeinit/start_kdeinit.c or
src/start_kdeinit/start_kdeinit_wrapper.c, which seems to have worked-around
the problem with kinit-5.16.  I have not tested that myself.

Maybe somebody else would like to look at reset_oom_protect(), at about line
445, and see why this will cause /usr/lib/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper to hang?
