            Bug ID: 479538
           Summary: Fix RAM management, make Plasmashell a privileged
                    process
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
                CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
  Target Milestone: 1.0

I can't count how many times Plasma just froze, because for example a VM took
too much RAM.

On Windows there is Ctrl+Alt+Del which simply always works. Also it seems the
shell is privileged and doesnt just freeze if a window freeze.

I had Dolphin, Ark, kio, virt-manager (qemu, kvm), Firefox, krunner, and many
more hang and make my plasma shell unresponsive.

The task manager / system activity is not privileged, its just a regular App.
It is not about "how to have fun when everything is working", but it needs to
be able to always launch (reserved memory space?) and kill processes that are
corrupt, need too much RAM etc.
