Syslog of Crash1, with crashing most open applications
SUMMARY
I've for multiple version observed some servere crash in the plasma desktop
that I first attributed to other (now solved) issues and can't wrap my head
around it, I think the behavior started somewhere around Plasma ~ 5.24.
The plasma desktop (including all panels, menus and also visually "integrated"
things like Krunner), just freeze and stop in time, not responding to any input
and for example clock widgets also freezing in time - open applications and
things like screen-edge-actions keep working (for example the show all windows
edge action).
If I try to interact with any of the freezed interface bits or try to restart
plasma by running `plasmashell --replace` in an already open terminal window or
Yakuake, all plasma panels slide out and also drag many applications into death
as well. Apps that I've also regularly observed crashing when this happens are:
- Dolphin
- Kate
- Chrome
- Discord
- TeamSpeak
- Pamac
Some apps like Steam, CS:GO or YouTube-music-bin (Inofficial YouTube Music
Desktop) always keep running and never crash when this happens.
Funnily, while writing this it happened again, but Chrome stayed alive.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Sadly I don't know how to reproduce the issue. It never happens directly after
a fresh reboot, but occurs multiple times a day, when the system already has
been running.
When it happens after the system has been idle (with screen off), it seems like
more running applications are crashing then when it happens while actively
working.
I'm using a 3-monitor setup with the open-source AMD-Linux & MESA drivers,
Pipewire and Wayland.
I also have my phone fully connected with KDE Connect, pumping out
notifications to the desktop.
OBSERVED RESULT
Freeze and crash of seemingly all plasma panels and services, even crashing
open applications like Dolphin, Kate and Chrome. Plasma recovers itself, when I
try to use any shortcut (Super-key or ALT+F2 for Krunner) and all panels slide
an as if nothing happened. I don't get any crash report window.
EXPECTED RESULT
No crashes and a stable work environment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have attached two journal-logs:
The first log "crash1" shows the clock freezing at ~15:11 and the panel and me
noticing while trying to use Krunner at ~15:17 and apps crashing at ~15:19 and
all panels and functionality restoring shortly after. I lost all open apps and
unsaved progress. The system was previously idle with me waking the screen and
unlocking a few minutes prior.
The second log "crash2" is a log exerpt of the second crash that happened at
15:53, but without killing open apps.
I noticed the clock being frozen and all panels to vanish shortly after. Plasma
Panels only restored after I invoked KRunner with ALT+F2. I've been listening
to music the whole time, not noticing any dropouts.
