Heads up on a more serious issue: there is still a nasty issue in Qt5 
which causes all applications to crash when screens are 
connected/disconnected. This means that now also plasma will crash in 
those circumstances. Reported at rhbz [1], and a number of upstream 
reports exists, the latest one being [2]. That one has a patch in review 
[3] which however seems pretty stalled, but might be a good starting 
point. I'm currently building a patched qt with that patch to see 
whether it helps.
