That workaround might be helpful, but it sounds like a bug somewhere
else in the Plasma/dbus/etc. stack.  I recommend trying to reproduce it
with e.g. the notify-send shell command; if you can, you'll know the bug
isn't with Emacs/Org.

I recommend filing a bug report with KDE, or perhaps with your Linux
distro as a first step.

By the way, I'm not sure what you mean by "desktop suspend."  The word
"suspend" is typically used to mean putting the system into a low-power
sleep state, but I'm guessing you mean that some part of the Plasma UI
is freezing and causing high CPU usage.
