-- Information about the crash:
When i use the wallpaper-engine kde plugin and i pick a specific wallpaper it can cause everytime plasmashell to crash, and when it crashes you have to uninstall the plugin or plasma wont load even after a reboot, switch back to normal wallpapers, then make sure you dont select a similar wallpaper that can cause this plasmashell crash on this wallpaper-engine plugin

The crash can be reproduced every time.
