Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:4.8.4-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

I'm plagued by a bug that forces me to reboot my laptop frequently. I
hope I'm filing the bug to the right package, feel free to reassign.

The problem happens when I undock the laptop, which causes the laptop
to disconnect from the AC power and the network simultanously.
What happens is that the panel freezes. I.e. it becomes unresponsive
to mouse clicks, so I can't use it to configure networks, switch
windows, launch applications, i.e. the standard stuff one has it there
to do. I can use other features such as Alt-TABbing through windows,
and the mouse and keyboard can be used on other apps.

There are two ways to fix it: 
1) Reconnect a wired network. 
2) Reboot the box. 

I do not have to reconnect AC power, just the wired network. However,
it doesn't happen if I just disconnect power or network, I have to do
both, but not necessarily at the same time.

It is usually not an option though, so I've tried this:
kjetil@owl:~$ killall plasma-desktop 
kjetil@owl:~$ plasma-desktop 
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. 
Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. 
Application may misbehave.
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path ""

plugin detected, may result in instability 
plasma-desktop(23121)/libplasma Plasma::isPluginVersionCompatible: unversioned

plasma-desktop(23121)/libplasma Plasma::isPluginVersionCompatible: unversioned

plasma-desktop(23121)/kdecore (services) 
KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "systemsettings" not found
Object::connect: No such signal QDBusAbstractInterface::Changed()

Then, nothing happens. There are some alarming messages there, but I
have nothing on this box that is not from Debian, so I don't know
about the unversioned plugins... 

When I reconnect the network, it comes back up. If I try to log out,
I can't log in again, so I tend to just reboot.

I've looked through upstream bugs, and some time ago there was a bug
that caused the the desktop to freeze for 30 seconds when AC power was
pulled, but this is definitly not the same bug.

I'm using Synergy on this box, but I have tried to disable it with no
changes.

I tend to dock and undock frequently, so this is really annoying...

About the hardware: It is a HP Elitebook 8470p, with Intel HD Graphics
4000.
