A different mailing list suggested the differences in systemd; ok.

This morning, after doing updates, things changed.

Starting X doesn't seem to "fly" the way it did yesterday and I changed
~/.xinitrc to:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/config.html

This starts full KDE on vt8 (less log in) under tty1 credentials. Switch
to tty2 and log in as same user then ~$ kate -display :1 will launch
Kate on vt8 and so on and so forth. Comment out the above exec line from
~/.xinitrc and try:
~$ startx -- :1 and it tries then does nothing.

So my guess is that some stuff got fixed in the updates.

*Note: I usually just search using Ubuntu blah, blah, blah as the
results are more vast and are usually relevant.
