[plasmashell] [Bug 428450] Plasmashell hangs/crashes sporadically after monitor standby if vsync is enabled (amdgpu)

Yes X11.
I just tested Wayland regarding this issue.

On a Wayland session I ran into similar problems like:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109246
My primary display elements switches to the secondary. 
--> Panels, widgets and wallpaper are all moved to the secondary (smaller)
monitor when the monitor standby was triggered and the monitors did not switch
off.
One time I also had to reboot the system via SysRq keys.

I've decided to stick with my workaround on X11 until Plasma 5.20 is released
on Kubuntu.

[plasmashell] [Bug 428450] New: Plasmashell hangs/crashes sporadically after monitor standby if vsync is enabled (amdgpu)

Bug ID: 428450
   Summary: Plasmashell hangs/crashes sporadically after monitor
standby if vsync is enabled (amdgpu)
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: 5.19.5
  Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
  Reporter: bruzzlee...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

SUMMARY
Plasmashell hangs/crashes sporadically after wakeup from monitor standby
(monitor power off) and needs to be restarted.
The problem could be traced back to the "vsync" options in the compositor
settings by trial and error. No log entries related to the issue could be
identified.
Setting vsync to "Never" prevents the "crash".

WORKAROUND:
Set vsync to "Never".
Enable the "TearFree" option in amdgpu configuration to prevent tearing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect at least 2 monitors with a different standby and switch off
behaviour.
2. VSYNC to e.g. Automatic
3. sleep 1; xset dpms force standby
4. Wake up by keyboard or mouse after ~30 seconds

OBSERVED RESULT
Task bar and desktop (including widgets) do not appear. Wallpaper stays black.
KRunner still works.
Plasmashell restart required: kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

EXPECTED RESULT
The same desktop environment / layout as before the standby.

[plasmashell] [Bug 360478] Desktop widgets are permanently repositioned when fullscreen games lower display resolution

Same issue here. Other reason.

If Plasma wakes up after the "Screen Energy Saving" was active the icons and
widgets are rearranged. 

I have two monitors.
One monitor turns on faster than the other, resulting in a change in
resolution. The same behaviour can be reproduced when the main monitor is
turned off, so that the second monitor with a lower resolution becomes the
default screen.
