I have just posted to the kde fedora list: dmesg shows plasmashell
segfault in nouveau_dri.so
I have a working fc23/kde/plasma desktop once more.
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-304xx still doesn't build the kmod, even with
'akmods --force', and I had no luck with both that and nouveau removed.
But after ensuring that 'rpm -qa | grep nvidia' returned nothing, 'dnf
install xorg-x11-drv-nouveau' did the trick. I'll try living without
hardware acceleration for the time being...
