[SOLVED] X-Server is using 9% CPU, Plasma crashes

After todays updates, my X-Server is using 5-15% CPU (AMD FX-8350), whatever I do. Additionally, Plasma 5.12.2 is crashing under my ass evermore when I right-click a panel icon, sometimes even on left-clicks on panel icons. Then, I need to restart plasmashell from a terminal.
What is going on?

GPU: Radeon RX580, using AMDGPU, Linux 4.15.3-2.

Edit: "plasmashell" prints this line every half second:

KActivities: FATAL ERROR: Failed to contact the activity manager daemo

Edit Edit: There is a KDE Bug, hope it gets fixed soon!
Deleting ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/ resolves the issue, but you will lose your Kickoff favorites.
