STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unknown (played some steam games, ~a few hours before this happened)
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma shell crashes and fails to reload.
The first time, it was able to remain open as long as I didn't use the
application launcher. I relaunched manually with kstart plasmashell. Then,
eventually, it failed to work at all, just giving
```Omitting both --window and --windowclass arguments is not recommended
The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?```
(tangent/another annoyance: the application launcher seems to remain open
whenever I launch anything, needing to be manually closed)
I then killed kwin_wayland. It restarted automatically.
The second time, when plasmashell crashed, it relaunched automatically, quickly
dying.
In the logs, `journalctl /usr/bin/kwin_wayland`,
```Oct 16 01:05:02 archlinux kwin_wayland_wrapper[1962]: Data too big for
buffer (4108 > 4096).
Oct 16 01:05:02 archlinux kwin_wayland_wrapper[1962]: error in client
communication (pid 66420)
``` is written at the time of the crash.
EXPECTED RESULT
Plasmashell doesn't die.
And, if it does die, I can restart it manually as on X11.
This is extremely frustrating as I have to restart my entire session to get the
taskbar/launcher back.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is my first bug report. It will be incomplete/imperfect due to the
difficulty of writing anything. I don't know how to attach a backtrace yet.
While writing, I also seem to have lost alt-tab functionality.
Attaching the output of `journalctl /usr/bin/kwin_wayland`. I also have the
output for plasmashell, but I can't seem to upload two attachments.
