Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Every few days (~ once a week), text stop being displayed in the panel, and after a few times (4minutes?) then the plasma background dissapear and plasmoid looks weird. Killing plasma and erstarting it solves the problem. (though, as usual when plasma dies or get killed, it lost my xchat systray, which is quite bad if the xchat windows is closed : i can't get it back, but that's another story, right)
Created attachment 33402 [details] Here is what the panel looks like (first symptom of the crash starting)
Created attachment 33403 [details] after few minutes my background looks like this the text on the left are actually icons (link to folders) and on the right it used to be the (very useful by the way) pastebin plasmoid.
Created attachment 33404 [details] sometimes i have this too
Created attachment 33405 [details] final look of the panel before i restart plasma
