Had another look today and found an outstanding print job on a switched off network printer. I deleted that job and was able to add the 'Printers' item again to the System Tray without crashing plasmashell. So maybe as you suggested it was a print queue problem that caused the crash although it is a bit surprising that this could prevent plasma from starting up correctly. Rob
