After booting the computer I logged in as the other user and ran startx. This time the splash screen appeared and after ostensibly loading KDE-trinity the result was the same unworkable totally blue screen. However, the virtual terminal showed several lines of text, ending with the following two: FATAL: Module fbcon not found. SELinux: Disabled on system, not enabling in X server Does the forgoing provide a clue as to what to do next? If I need to reinstall completely KDE-trinity 3.5.13 is there a single command, or are there two (or more) commands which will purge all of it and then reinstall it?
