I no longer think that the update to xorg-x11-server* 1.17.2-2.fc22.2 was the culprit for the KDE login problems I had reported (as anonymous) on 2015-10-08.
See my update on
kernel-4.1.6-201.fc22 (as well as kernel-4.1.6-200.fc22) breaks my previously working dual-monitor setup with KDE on a Lenovo W530 "Optimus" laptop (hybrid graphics, nouveau + i915 drivers): External monitor (connected to docking station via DP) remains black and the journal shows several lines
kernel: nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0][0x00000006] 06:0006:0f48: link training failed
The above dual-monitor setup is working with the previous kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22.
Fixes bug 1237269 for me. kplasmashell had 100% cpu when mouse ptr "rested" in the KDE Panel area. Fixed now.

Indeed, this update breaks established authentication rules for PackageKit and Suspend from KMenu. Downgrading polkit to 0.112-9.fc22.x86_64 fixes the authentication regression. The polkit changes in 0.113 likely require changes in other components, see # rpm -qa | grep polkit polkit-libs-0.113-1.fc22.x86_64 polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-5.fc22.x86_64 polkit-0.112-9.fc22.x86_64 polkit-qt5-1-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64 polkit-kde-5.3.2-1.fc22.x86_64 polkit-libs-0.113-1.fc22.i686 polkit-qt-0.112.0-3.fc22.x86_64
I'm using the nouveau driver on a Lenovo W530 laptop with Nvidia Optimus. I'm on F22. So far, the external monitor worked only when I modprobed nouveau. But after updating to mesa-dri-drivers-10.6.1-1.20150629.fc22.x86_64 'modprobe nouveau' results in nouveau [E device] ... unknown chipset nouveau [E DRM] failed to create and the external monitor does not work.
This update is essential for Plasma 5.4.3 (in stable), resolving several stability issues. Missing symbol issue is now gone, kded & powerdevil run fine (restored Suspend & Clipboard functionality for me), and kscreen no longer "forgets" the Display Configuration at logout.
I updated all qt5 packages listed above. Note that some of these were missing on my F22 (which was upgraded earlier from F20), so I also installed python-qt5 and its dependencies qt5-qtdoc qt5-qtwayland qt5-qtimageformats qt5-qtquick1 qt5-qttranslations at this point.
Plasma 5.4.3 is now much more stable, external monitor with nouveau is working as well. This is with kernel 4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 -- I'll retest with kernel 4.2.5 later.
