KDE plasmashell panels disappear

English Applications
1

I’m running Leap 42.1 KDE edition. As of a week or two ago, my plasmashell desktop panels have started disappearing after suspending the machine or plugging in/unplugging an external monitor (Toshiba Satellite laptop). It doesn’t happen every single time, but probably 1 out of every 3 times.

This is really annoying, as I use two custom panels that probably take 20 minutes to set up right each time. Plus, the only way for me to do anything when this happens is hit INS and invoke Guake – without that I’d have to close the session.

So…

  • How do I fix this?
  • Is there any way to back up my plasmashell config so that if this bug isn’t fixed in the near future, I can at least quickly restore things to the way they were?

Thanks in advance!
