Ah great, you found the real issue: Plasma :)
now you could try the same on plasma again only with kwin killed.

If that fixes your issue then you know for sure that kwin is doing
something you don't want and are probably best off by describing a minimal
case that kwin breaks and post that in the plasma development mailing list (
plasma-devel at kde.org) to further nail down the issue.
