plasmashell hangs at least every hour for an unknown reason. Kwin is still running and working as expected, I can move windows, switch through them with Alt+Tab and run commands from krunner (Alt+F2). I can't click anything on the panel, it simply doesn't react. Sometimes as plasmashell hangs it shows a broken preview in the taskbar, but I don't have a screenshot of this. To workaround this I can kill plasmashell and restart it and it continues to work for a time. If I run plasmashell in a konsole window, the output doesn't show anything directly related with the hang. But I get errors like: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 2 (BadValue), sequence: 8291, resource id: 140509189, major code: 142 (Unknown), minor code: 3 QXcbConnection: XCB error: 2 (BadValue), sequence: 8370, resource id: 125829124, major code: 142 (Unknown), minor code: 3 QXcbConnection: XCB error: 2 (BadValue), sequence: 8439, resource id: 18874372, major code: 142 (Unknown), minor code: 3 If I move the mouse pointer over a tab in the taskbar. I made a core dump with gcore, but I'm not sure if I should upload it. (compressed 13,2MB, uncompressed 3,2GB).

Maybe you can provide a backtrace? Otherwise it's impossible to figure out what's going on...
Same here, arch linux plasma-workspace 5.5.4. Clearing the cache (~/.cache) did not help. I will try to get a backtrace...
http://pastebin.com/bZT9DRrW Here is a backtrace. I realize many symbols are missing, please let me know if this has any value at all, otherwise I can try to recompile packages with debug symbols.
Created attachment 97185 [details] backtrace+last console output I ran plasmashell in konsole with gdb, as soon as it froze I hit Ctrl+C and made a backtrace with "thread apply all backtrace". This is the last output of plasmashell and the backtrace.
I tried wiping the caches, but this also didn't help. Do you need anything else? This bug makes plasmashell unusable for me.
After installing the newest updates, I haven't yet had this problem.
