Refreshingly, or annoyingly, konsole is now behaving properly.  Not sure 
what has caused this, as it was definitely still happening for a while 
after I updated to the backports ppa.

Havig read through that, I am not sure if that's relevant to what I was 
seeing.  I think I was actually getting a crash.

This doesn't seem to be it for me.  Having put this symlink in place I see 
that the akonadiserver isn't running anymore - but the behavior of the 
startup screen doesn't seem obviously different and it still takes about 
30 sec or so to log in.

I also turned off the ksplashqml during startup and the screen appeared 
immediately, though the konsole didn't immediately start.  Is there some 
logging that can be turned on that would tell me what's happning?  I see 
that I was getting such in kde4, but not in kde5.  If I am understanding 
you were chatting about this in the response you sent, but no one made any 
mention of the logs you're looking at.
