Hallo Maximiliano,
 
thank you for the reply.
 
I am using up-to-date jessie. I think I found the root cause for my problem.
 
I had a samba drive mounted via fstab, which I can only access with a vpn-
connection. So when I turned the vpn on and connected to the samba drive and 
turned the vpn off or put my laptop into standby, the drive was still mounted. 
That appearently froze the panel. The behaviour with kde-workspace 4:4.11.11-1 
is the same.
 
Now I use autofs to mount the said drive and unmount it automatically and the 
panel does not freeze anymore.
 
Best,
Stefanie
