Comment 44 for bug 358533

I'm on 4.5 and suffer from this bug, but it's a bit different. I use an USB wireless dongle to connect to my router, but some days the signal is very very weak and connection is dropped or is near to 0 (zero). Every time network is lost I get plasma-desktop freezes. I'm sure it's only a plasma bug because other apps work, either KDE apps (kate) or GNOME apps (gedit), Qt and gtk ones (amarok and firefox). Even KRunner starts and runs normally if I type Alt+F2, but plasma-desktop becomes unresponsive: the desktop doesn't respond to mouse clicks, neither the panel. Also, the UI doesn't get updated (eg when I hover workspace or taskbar or kickoff icon). I don't know how to attach information, but I see this bug is 2 years old and since it's very very annoying I think you should set its priority to HIGH and fix it as soon as possible, because it makes it impossible to use the box 'til the network is back
I love KDE but this bug makes me waste hours, waiting for the taskbar to get my click and change the application in foreground, just to do a copy and paste.
Please, fix it
