oh interesting.  i've found myself having to restart plasma once a week 
or so to fix some glitches with the tool bar.  i just run:

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

so it's certainly possible thats where the issue lies.  i'd try another 
window manager, but i really like plasma5 lol.

maybe i'll take one for the team and run mate or xfce for a few weeks 
and see if see similar behavior.
