Dear Maintainers,

I have the same problem. The panel freezes almost all of time when I connect or disconnect to a vpn connection. It sometimes also happens when I resume my laptop from standby and the wireless lan connection it was connected before going to standby is not available anymore.

The panel does unfreeze eventually, but it takes several minutes up to hours if left alone, so I reboot the laptop most of the time it happens.

Please tell me, what additional information I can supply or if I should report it upstream.

Thank you for maintaining KDE in debian!
