Thanks very much.
I've made a note of your solution.
About 4 years ago I was getting some grief from Plasma and someone sent
me a script to restart it. I still have it but it's been years since
I've had to use it, but here it is anyway:
#!/bin/sh
# Restart the Plasma workspace under KDE. Use if Plasma crashes or
# Autohide stops working.
kquitapp plasma-desktop
sleep 5s
plasma-desktop &>/dev/null &
