SUMMARY
What originally started as an isolated continuation of a bug from back in
5.27.9 has escalated to a repeatable crash on 6.0.3 on my end. Essentially,
after updating or restarting the desktop, adding a floating Icons-Only Task
Manager (theoretically possible on the normal Task Manager as well) or
interacting with it causes the shell to crash and restart before eventually
crashing to the point that it can't recover.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Restart Plasma using "killall plasmashell | kstart plasmashell" in Konsole
or another terminal emulator.
2. When the desktop has loaded, right click on the desktop and choose "Add
Widgets."
3. Find the Icons-Only Task Manager or Task Manager and add it to the desktop.
4. The shell will crash, but recover soon after (if it hasn't jumped right to
unrecoverable status).
5. Continue interacting with either Task Manager by opening applications each
one until they cause another crash.
6. Eventually, "plasmashell" can no longer recover from the crash and present
a black screen with nothing but currently running applications.
OBSERVED RESULT
Several observable results:
* The Task Manager fails to report running applications. This is similar to
Bug 475896 but goes much farther.
* Right-clicking on applications no longer shows menu options.
* The desktop crashes simply by adding the Task Manager to the desktop.
* The desktop crashes simply by opening applications from the Task Manager and
subsequently closing them.
EXPECTED RESULT
* The Task Manager should report running applications and show jump lists
after right-clicking them.
* Adding another Task Manager or interacting with either one should not cause
Plasma to crash.
