sddm & wayland config
Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Kubuntu changed my login screen
No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.

Where to file bug reports about "portals" ?
However, the actual dialogs and access points are provided by a backend, which differs from what desktop are you using. For example, Gnome uses xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, KDE uses xdg-desktop-portal-kde and so on.\ If there is an issue with the implementation of an portal, you need to find the backend you use and report it to them.
- Where to see which portals in xdg-desktop-portal the KDE runtime supports?
- GTK 5 might drop X11 support
- Are there new considerations for making QT/KDE apps more usable in Gnome 42?
