SUMMARY After I accidentally changed the display style of the CPU usage tray sensor to ‘Application list’, the entire shell froze; Alt+Tab and shortcuts (e.g. Terminal, Ctrl+Alt+T) still work. Rebooting changes nothing – it still freezes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In the CPU usage monitor in the system tray, change ‘Bar chart’ to ‘Application list’ 2. The system tray and desktop freeze and become unresponsive. OBSERVED RESULT After `kquitapp5 plasmashell` and `kstart5 plasmashell`, here is the console log: ``` (base) [avk@UL0012159 ~]$ kstart5 plasmashell (base) [avk@UL0012159 ~]$ kf.plasma.quick: Applet preload policy set to 1 file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml:196:25: QML FolderViewDropArea (parent or ancestor of QQuickLayoutAttached): Binding loop detected for property "minimumWidth" file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.desktopcontainment/contents/ui/main.qml:196:25: QML FolderViewDropArea (parent or ancestor of QQuickLayoutAttached): Binding loop detected for property "minimumWidth" qml: The backend got an unknown wallpaper provider type.

Confirmed on Fedora Kinoite Rawhide in the 6.1 beta. From my testing, it occurs with any sensor type (or lack thereof) and whenever the either the application table or process table display styles are selected, making them entirely non-functional. It can be reproduced by applying the application list or process list display style at any point. The hang related to both the application table and process table appear to be the same bug. I recommend that someone with the necessary permissions to increase the priority and severity from "NOR normal"; once the display style is applied to the system monitor widget, plasmashell will hang whenever loaded until the problematic widget is removed from the configuration file or within the very short timeframe before the shell finishes loading.
