Still wondering what the heck are those "applications" on the brand new System Monitor.
The "applications" are connected to systemd's way of using cgroups. On a systemd-based system, programs are launched within a separate cgroup for each one of them, and this allows to identify all their processes as a single application tag.
I can get different desktop backgrounds using Vallpaper.
right click desktop, desktop settings - plasma, wallpaper type:vallpaper 2.0.2, at the bottom of the window select a picture sources folder, have to expand the window to full screen as there's no scroll/slider.
This works on my big monitor but on another install using a different monitor, the window expands but the bottom is cut off and can't scroll/slide down to add picture sources folder.
You can get Plasma 5 packages for Slackware-current from Alien BOB's repository. These packages will replace KDE 4 if you have installed that. Read all about it on Eric's blog

KDE is now part of Slackware64-current
Must change ?

Thank you but I can't kill X in virtualbox this way. I use virtualbox for upgrade testing and for now I am goint to wait for the fix before updating my bare metal system

IF worst came to worst, could you not completely shut down the VM and reboot? I use Virtualbox on my ancient Mac and sometimes that's what I have to do when things get completely out of hand. I know that's not what we want, but I do what I have to do.

Thank you both @KeithE and @pghvlaans for the suggestions.
I am using virtualbox since 4.x, so I know how to switch to ttyX and shudtown/reboot VB client
My point is that logout and shut down buttons do not work anymore in Plasma after the latest upgrade.
