** Description changed:
+ # Impact
+ When switching screens (e. g. when putting the laptop onto the docking

Qt5 applications (including plasmashell) quite often crash.

+
+ # Regression Potential
+ Worst case scenario an application using qquickscreen would slow down because
of erroneous screen change singals being emitted too often per second. This
would however only reveal a lower level issue in the foundations that
ultimately needs to be fixed anyway.
+
+ # Other Info
+ The upstream code review [1] explains the issue and solution pretty well.

+ --------- original report ---------------
+
When switching screens (e. g. when putting the laptop onto the docking
station the notebook screen is turned off and the external one is turned
on) Qt5 applications (including plasmashell) quite often crash. This
makes my laptop unusable, since I do that very frequently.
The problem has already been described here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341497
Apparently it is fixed in Qt 5.5
I am running Kubuntu 15.04 64bit and libqt5gui5 5.4.1+dfsg-2ubuntu4.
