Bug ID: 457206
Summary: Plasma hangs/crashes when launching a native game
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jannis.goe...@pm.me

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
When I launch a native game, like CS:GO or Transport Fever Two, my entire
Desktop crashes/hangs. Sometimes I can get krunner up but not always and I can
still use shortcuts to launch e.g. Dolphin and Konsole most of the time.
However the panels are entirely frozen and cannot be interacted with, the
wallpaper does not get repainted and keeps displaying the window content that
was last visible. This problem occurs only with native games and not with
wine/proton games. it takes some time but after exiting the game everything
returns to normal.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma (Nvidia, X11)
2. Launch Steam
3. Start a Proton Game - everything is fine
4. Start a native Game
5. Try to open kickoff or klick on the taskbar - nothing happens - time stops
updating
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing can be clicked on the panels, everything on the panels stops updating.
Alt+Tab still works though. Wallpapers stop drawing. Shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+T
still work and Konsole still launches. Sometimes i can get krunner up and use
it to launch other applications - that still works fine.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Panels should continue to work as always.
