Bug Description
Plasma-desktop freezes every time I launch skype using the Icons-Only Task Manager. If I kill and relaunch plasma-desktop, everything seems almost fine (some layout glitches).

Everytime I switch to an external monitor and launch skype using the launcher in the icon-only task manager, plasma-desktop becomes unresponsive and I need to kill it and launch it again. It comes back almost fine (some layout glitches). Interestingly, skype is launched and works fine independently of the panel.
I can understand that skype is closed-source, so it is probably doing something wrong. On the other hand, random programs should not able to easily hang plasma-desktop.
Reproducible: Always
