Bug 514109

Recording of issue

It happend again today. Last thing I did was:
1. Tried to open blender in kickoff
2. It didn't open and system showed me error in kdialog saying that it couldn't find application from path in .desktop file
3. I realized it's in ntfs drive which was not mounted
4. I opened yakuake with shortcut key (I set it to ctrl + shift +`) and ran this command: (`sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdc1`)
5. Tried to open kickoff to launch steam since blender is in there
6. Kickoff did not show up

When this happens, do you see any possibly relevant error messages in `journalctl --reverse`?

Does this only affect kickoff, or also other panel popups (like the system tray widgets)?

What graphics card are you using?

It just happened, right after booting.
Things I did in order:
1. Logged in
2. Started Zen browser
3. Opened kickoff
4. Accidentally closed it
5. Tried to open it again - didn't work

Here is snippet of journalctl. I copied from 30 seconds before I started zen browser to plasmashell restarting itself.

As you can see I started zen browser at "21:37:28" which is about 30 seconds after kdeconnected doing something. I believe that is when I was logging into my system and waiting for other uis to fully load in.
I should've tested other widgets but I forgot about it and immediately restarted plasmashell. I will test it next time.
