It seems that the package that causes this bug is "crypto-policies-20221110-1.mga9.noarch" Regards

Thank you for the report, and the previous comment, which is a surprising result. Can you say how you found it?. The fault is less drastic than it seems. Following your clear instructions, the 'Configure desktop & wallpaper' window that pops up shows two buttons, 'Get new plugins', and 'Get new wallpapers'. Clicking either freezs the application window, but not the entire desktop, because you can move the window, and other applications already running on the same desktop work. But you cannot raise new ones, the taskbar is dead. Clicking the top-right 'X' does not immediately close the configure window, but soon pops a prompt that it (plasmashell) is not responding, kill it? - works. And the desktop is then back to normal. Assigning to Guillaume for crypto-policies, CC'ing the KDE team in case. (plasmashell seems to be part of plasma-workspace).

Rebooted my system and my plasma setup was messed up completely, found that my .Xauthority file changed ownership to root for no apparent reason, so, I thought it was some Cauldron fluke and decided to restore my plasma desktop environment when I run into this bug. Then I looked at the latest updated packages and by process of elimination within an older VM I could identify the troubling package. Mostly luck, imho.
It's quite difficult to identify a connexion between a low-level configuration tool such as crypto-policy, and a wallpaper setting GUI, but there was indeed an issue in crypto-policy, that may have triggered crashes in anything using openssl. Try again with lib64openssl3-3.0.5-3.mga9.
Updated the openssl and crypto-policy packages, logged out and back in and there are no signs of reported issues. So, great job in fixing it. Thanks.
