Description

**Kde becomes unresponsive for most task when I try to change setting using taskbar icon**

First of all the setting window never appeared. After I clicked it multiple times, it seems to flicker. On previous boot, I restarted. I am able to open another terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T, but all icons on task bar becomes unresponsive.

**Setting window should appear and let me change the values**
I was able to change on my first instance after install.

**Actual behavior**

It seems to flicker mouse for a while making whole desktop unresponsive. I am guessing since I clicked the icon bunch of times, it queued the events and fired after things started to come back up.

**To Reproduce**

I used touchpad to click the icon on taskbar.

I ran guake using a terminal while the icon was still showing in taskbar, this is what I saw in terminal
