screenshot of the useless notification

SUMMARY
In Fedora Rawhide, KDE sometimes shows a notification from KWin that says "XWayland has crashed". That's all it says. Clicking the notification does nothing. drkonqi shows no crashes. There is no trace of XWayland, or anything else, crashing in the system journal.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot a fresh Fedora Rawhide KDE live image or installed system (maybe a few times - this doesn't happen every boot). Our openQA test system sees this regularly, and I can reproduce in a local virt-manager VM
2. Open Notifications
3. See useless "XWayland has crashed" notification

OBSERVED RESULT
A notification which appears to be lying, and is unactionable

EXPECTED RESULT
No such useless notification

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Rawhide (42)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.90
KDE Frameworks Version: Er, not sure? 6.10.2 / 5.116.0 maybe?
