Public bug reported:

I have a notebook with a NVIDIA GeForce 840M GPU. The OS is Ubuntu
14.04. Both Unity and kde-plasma-desktop are installed. Everything was
configured and running smoothly while the Nouveau display driver
(xserver-xorg-video-nouveau) was being used, but after installing the
nvidia-346 package (as explained in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) the Shut
down, Restart and Logout buttons in kde stopped working. Also in kde,
I'm unable to change the driver in the "Software & Updates -> Additional
Drivers" or change the GPU in "NVIDIA X Server Settings -> Prime
Profiles". However, everything works perfectly in Unity.

ps:. Right after loggin in kde, the system strangely seems to freeze for
few seconds (maybe something like 20 seconds), after answering and start
working normally.

The software versions are:
kde-plasma-desktop 5:78ubuntu13
nvidia-346 346.82-0ubuntu0.2
