Based on my discussions reporting Bug 361935, this would appear to be unrelated to: bug 356394 or Bug 357551 So, I'm filing a new bug as relates to the compositor. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend 2. Resume 3. After more than one suspend/resume cycle, the compositor fails "almost always". The compositor's failure is always accompanied by the symptoms described in Bug 357551 (though a bug tracker has never popped up). "After waking from suspend Plasma is always broken, most commonly the panel and window borders are gone... [and] sometimes I am left with a broken session with no panel, borders, or way to switch windows. Once in a while I get a blank screen and can't even switch to a tty."
backtrace or it didn't happen, but it's most likely just bug #341497
It's not something I've done before, but I'm just reading about it here: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports In regards to the problem above, there's no KDE Crash Dialogue. Based on the site above, I would use GDB. Would that be? gdb plasmashell If I wanted to trace the error in window borders, panel failure, and compositing errors?
I'm sorry, scratch that last question (and you only have to confirm this with me once and we're on our way) . Would plasma-workspace be the component in question? gdb plasma-workspace
Okay. I attached GDB to plasmashell and the appropriate PID. I suspended and resumed twice while GDB was attached. The KDE panel locked up after the second suspend. Had to kill GDB and restart plasmashell in order use it.

That backtrace is missing the first 10 threads; none of the ones listed show a crash. This is now quite old, and I hope this issue has gone away with newer versions. Please file a new bug if not.
