[Bug 1860695] [NEW] 20.04 often have no panel and default desktop

[SeijiSensei]

Public bug reported:

I have 20.04 running on a couple of different machines. Sometimes when I
have a problem of some sort and reboot, I'll have a desktop with the
default wallpaper and no panel.  This happened this morning after I had
a networking problem.  Adding a panel by right-clicking the desktop does
not work.  Usually the only fix is to delete the .kde, .config, .cache,
and .local directories from my $HOME.  Needless to say this is a royal
pita.

When I have this problem I can display the available windows with
Alt-F4; they appear in a panel on the left-hand side of the screen.

I've tried to determine just where the problem lies but without much
success.

I run a pretty vanilla setup with just a custom wallpaper and customized
program menu.

This has happened so frequently to me in the past couple of weeks that I
expected to see a bug report filed already.
