Text output of "latte-dock --debug --replace"

SUMMARY
For nearly a year now I've had serious issues with Latte-dock intermittently freezing for entire minutes at a time, briefly working again, and then continue being frozen off and on. With every occasional git pull of updated code I hope that it will be fixed, but it hasn't changed in a very long time. I attached a copy of output I got from "latte-dock --debug --replace"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "git clone https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock.git"
2. Install with "./install.sh"
3. Launch latte-dock, which seems to briefly work in its absolute blank state, until it is changed, and widgets are added.

OBSERVED RESULT
Constant freezing, making every panel and dock completely unusable. Occasionally it starts responding, only to freeze yet again. The problem is specifically with latte-dock and associated widgets.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect latte-dock to respond normally and not freeze for such long periods.

It is not fixed for the simple reason that your assumptions are wrong.

1. You probably have an applet creating the freezes. Start from default layout and add one appletz one by one until you find the applet creating the issue. That applet there for virtual desktops is very suspected. 
2. When the freeze occurs which process has a CPU spike?
