[Bug 406154]

[Vincent-rubiolo]

Also getting this bug (Ubutu 12.04 - KDE 4.8.5). I usually get by using the following:
1. Lazy unmount of the problematic mount point (sudo umount -l /mnt/mountpoint).
2. Restart plasma : killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop That allows the panel to unfreeze. Unfortunately, it also pollutes the notification area with lots of spurious notification entries, resulting in a smaller (width-speaking) taskbar/paenl. I have to manually hide those to get back to the actual panel width (see screenshot).

Is there something we can do to help as users (getting backtraces, etc)
so that this problem is fixed?
