--- Comment #88 from Moritz Augustin <software@moritz-augustin.de> ---
I confirm freezes of the whole panel after waking up from standby with
unavailable nfs mounts in the background. The freeze goes away when the nfs
target becomes available again. With xfce I did not have this problem. 
Without knowing the technical kde internal details I think that network mounts
should be detected by kde and be marked as unreliable, i.e., nothing should 
depend on them to prevent such execution blockings.

I am running arch linux with the following packages:
linux 3.12.8-1
extra/kdebase-lib 4.12.1-1
extra/kdebase-plasma 4.12.1-1
extra/kdebase-runtime 4.12.1-2
extra/kdebase-workspace 4.11.5-1
Btw: Several nfs directories are mounted using the bg flag.

I guess one workaround for users having this problem is to mount network shares
via autofs. However, the kde core gui parts such as the panel should definitely
not freeze when, e.g., a connected network attached storage is offline.
