Sometimes my taskbar freezes. In order to restart it, I made the following script. For convenience, I put a folder with all the scripts in the "View Folder" widget.

If I launch the script from the widget after restarting the computer, the error I recorded on the video will occur.

If I immediately run the same script, but from Delphin, everything works fine. After that I can run the same script from the widget and the error won't happen.

As soon as I restart again - if I first run the script from the widget on the taskbar - the error repeats. Until I run the same script, but from Dolphin.

The script itself is in ~/.sh/

Lets try to focus on the bug itself that prompted this workaround, and not any bugs stemming from the use of the workaround. :)  The bug is:

> Sometimes my taskbar freezes.

Let's refocus on that. Do you by any chance have an NVIDIA GPU, and does this happen after you wake the computer or a monitor from sleep?

Yes, that's right, I have Nvidia :)

I don't notice a pattern in the taskbar hanging up. It hangs even when I'm just modeling in Blender, for example. I had an RTX 3070Ti, now I have a 4080 and the problem is still there.

Thanks. Are you using X11 or Wayland? And does the issue happen on both platforms, or only one?

I use Wayland. I don't remember if this was a problem on X11. It seems to be a problem only on Waylayd.

Got it, thanks. In that case, this issue is Bug 469016, which is on our radar screen.
