This an issue related to sleep/hibernation and kscreen2/kwin crashing when sleep/hibernation was active for longer than 9 hours - I tested it, I put the PC to sleep and checked it after an hour, all good, then sleep and checked it after 3 hours, all good, then put it to sleep and check it after 5 hours, all good, and so on until the 9th hour -> then had to hard reboot because kwin/kscreen/plasma or one of them just hung and was not re-active to any input from keyboard or mouse. - I turned all of that sleep/hibernation **** off and that resolved the kde/plasma hanging when waking up from sleep/hibernation. BUT the ghosting icons, disappearing taskbars and multi-display arrangement and settings getting all outta wack continued.

See this post for that resolution: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=177671

I lock my desktop and go to bed.
I wake up and enter my password and I get a little icon that says "unlock" on it.
nothing I do from here shows any reaction on my screen. I click unlock=nothing
I bring up the virtual keyboard and type my password again=nothing
I try all three of my monitors = nothing
I ctrl+alt+F* = nothing

The ONLY thing that seems to work is power button off / on and then I can logon
I tested locking my screen for about 3-4 hours and it unlocks fine / this only happens when I have an extended lock screen, like over night
I would like to be able to tail -f something but whats the point if ctrl_alt_F* does not work and I cannot resume my current session?

Does anyone more knowledgeable than I have any suggestions on how to approach finding out whats happening and possibly fixing it?

Thanks all.
