Anyone noticed anything lately with plasmashell? I think it started 
happening after Qt was upgraded from 5.15.3 to 5.15.4. At login, the 
desktop is very unresponsive and sluggish. Mouse clicks take over a 
second to register.


The plasmashell process is hogging one core of the CPU to almost 100%. 
It only happens on login. Logging out and back in again usually fixes it.


So I decided to just let it do that and see what happens. After about 90 
seconds or so, it calms down and things become normal...

Do you have an nvidia card? This machine that constantly has this issue 
does, but my laptop (intel graphics) does not.


Yeah, it's nvidia using the binary driver. But I've never had this issue 
before. It only started happening today when I booted up the machine.
