Fully up-to-date Fedora-20 with similar problem (but not exactly the same):
 * The complete panel (not only virtual-desktop switching) is "almost" stuck.
 * By "almost" I mean it respond to click with a *very* long delay (~10 seconds or so).

 * Yesterday I noticed it first time and logged out/in again.
 * Today, after your mail, I verified that restarting "plasma-desktop"
   is sufficient to restore responsiveness:
   - Used Ctrl-ESC to pop-up the process list
   - searched "plasma-desktop" and killed it
   - Used Alt-F2 to run a new "plasma-desktop"
   - The new panel is responsive again.
