The script for configuring the widget
Hi! I am trying to automate switching the global menu between compactview and
not-compact view. I am trying to do this using a javascript file I wrote
adapted from [the examples in the
documentation](https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/examples/).
The problem I came across is that plasmashell crashes (segfault) when I write
false to that config key.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download the javascript file included
2. make sure one of the panels at least contains a global menu widget
3. edit the script to set the `valueToWrite` variable at the top to `"true"`
4. run it using
```
qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript
"$(cat PATH/TO/DOWNLOADED_SCRIPT.js)";
```
3. now edit the script to set the variable to `"false"`
4. run it again, wait some time (a few seconds on my system), plasmashell will
crash.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasmashell crashes.
EXPECTED RESULT
The config value gets updated, and the global menu goes from compactView back
to non-compactView.
