It's NOT originally a Wayland bug but has been happening since KDE Plasma 4
started, and into Plasma 5. The panel used to stay frozen for as long as a
half-hour or hour until I maybe killed plasmashell or KDE. Sometimes it worked
to restart/fork plasmashell in a screen session in a xterm. Now it might still
sort of work except your minimized system tray programs won't reappear there,
only on taskbar (and some in background, have to kill them) which will no
longer be in the order you moved programs to.
This bug for the last 10 or 12+ years is why I initially switched
back to KDE3.5 for a few major versions of Slackware until KDE3.5 stopped
working, then tried to switch to TDE KDE3.5 fork and simpler (less
power-hungry, even though I don't use many effects) desktop environments and
still will try to switch. I still love KDE and will report bugs, but I haven't
seen the panel freeze bug ever stop. Sometimes at the same time, some/most/all
other things stop responding too.
People suggested turn off indexing, which I did, which didn't improve
situation. If I leave KDE on for days the panel is probably bound to stop
responding. One thing that did seem to exacerbate it is if I start 10 or 15+
GUI programs immediately on starting KDE, which sometimes permanently slowed it
down. If I start one program then another after a minute or two or after disc
activity died down (though my OS is on SSD, /home is on HDD) and continue in
that fashion, usually it doesn't slow down. The thing is, even if I start 15+
programs at once, it might just be 10% CPU resources of my 32 threads is even
being used, so the parallel processing might need to improve (unless that
situation is only a HDD access problem.)
