A) Wonder if anyone else has seen and B) how to capture information for

These have only happened one time each but they still "bug" me as I think
they, or something similar, may happen again.
1. Everything disappeared from the systray. It I could still see the
outline but nothing else. Restarting plasmashell brought everything back.
2. I run dual monitors. Suddenly the background and the Home and Trash
icons were gone. I though the display had been powered off or when to
sleep. However, I could drag a konsole window to the "blank" display and
it displayed just fine. Again, restarting plasmashell brought everything
back.
based on your symptoms, it sounds like plasmashell may have crashed.
Currently running plasma-workspace-5.3.0-4
install updates, 5.3.1 is the latest. updates may help.
