Yes I do this to restart Plasma when it crashes every few days. I am using the NetworkManager applet, and that is well known to have many issues, so that might be partly to blame. But other times when my computer crashes, not even Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Alt+BkSpace work, and sometimes Ctrl+Alt+1 works so I can kill a bad app, but often the only key combo that works at all is Alt+PrtSc+K!
