'killall -s SIGSEGV plasmashell' (which in the past would

'kill <PID>' does kill it, but how do I run it again without logging
out? Simply running plasmashell from the command line does put up the
widget panel but it's still frozen, and the command never returns.
Not that is going to solve your problem but.. have you tried:
kquitapp plasmashell
Are you running kwayland?
Is your session getting locked?
