SUMMARY Sometimes, when receiving notifications, Plasmashell will sometimes either crash and reload or infinitely hang, requiring manual intervention. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Log into Plasma 6.4< Receive many notifications, mine are happening in the "Vesktop" (discord) program OBSERVED RESULT Sometimes, Plasmashell will crash. EXPECTED RESULT Plasmashell should not be crashing *nearly* as much as it has been. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.5-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i3-13100F Memory: 48 GB of RAM (46.9 GB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Before upgrading to 6.4 Plasmashell hardly crashed at all but now I'm observing 10+ crashes and hangs a day, some persisting over reboots like my current inability to launch Krunner (Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) or use Alt A to open my taskbar.
As the message at the top of the summary says, if something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the coredumpctl command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl ?

It is actually disabled right now, my wallpaper is the default Plasma one because I had to reset my configuration last night due to an infinite crash loop. It shouldn't be affecting anything.
