Plasma-workspace is missing /etc/pam.d/kde. When the screen got locked I could not unlock it because I have pam_deny in /etc/pam.d/other. The one from kdebase-workspace should be fine.
This task depends upon

I'm not a PAM expert, but I thought only DM should provide that file.
How to log into Plasma? I use SDDM and I've no issue with it.

When you lock the screen (K-menu -> Leave -> Lock) you need to enter your password to unlock. This will use PAM and /etc/pam.d/kde for configuration. As we do not have /etc/pam.d/kde in plasma-workspace PAM will fall back to /etc/pam.d/other which will default to pam_unix so everything seems to work. But I have changed /etc/pam.d/other to pam_deny which denies access to unknown services. However this will render the Plasma lock screen unable to unlock the screen as PAM just denies every request.

The provided file is incorrect. We do not have pam_console, pam_selinux and postlogin. I guess it is from Fedora. You should take our kde.pam from kdebase-workspace.
