Plasma crashes in 15.04

[support]

Prof Mani,

I filed a similar bug report related to 5.3 (I also noted a similar
failure in 5.2 but did not file a report), and was informed that a fix
was identified and will be implemented in early May.  I filed it at
bugs.kde.org and got pretty fast comms back on it.  Browsing the bugs
data related to "plasmashell" I noted other "plasmashell" related crash
bugs had similar backtrace profiles to the one I filed (although I lack
the expertise to know what the backtrace info means other than
identifying that there was a lot of the same data in the backtraces).  I
am no expert but I think the plasma shell crash (which takes out the
panels etc) is indeed in evidence pretty broadly and that KDE is working
to fix it ASAP as it crops up in a lot of circumstances.  I get it [some
% of each action taken] when adding widgets, when changing widgets, when
activing Activities, when changing activities, when editing panels, and
probably other actions which I don't recall offhand.

I could not find your bug number in bugs.kde.org - I think this should
be a plasmashell bug according to their classification approach if you
haven't filed it under plasmashell already.

I hope you do get a response on your bug report!

Cheers
