Yes, when there is no Kickoff menu the NFS disconnection doesn't lead to Plasma hang. There was some strange behaviour in some gadgets and apps, but I can't recall what it was, but the behaviour described in the report happens due to Kickoff. I don't claim that the root cause is Kickoff's code, though. But the "Computer" section in the menu is what most probably triggers it.

To be clear what I mean by "some strange behaviour" above: Trying to open a folder containing a disconnected NFS mount with Dolphin is an example. Dolphin is responsive, but huge part of the files and folders in the folder simply aren't shown until NFS comes back.
