Hmm, something similar happens here sometimes. But not as severe. It
usually happens when I close many windows rapidly in succession, but
it's not permanent. The panel becomes responsive again after 10 seconds
or so. I'm also on latest nvidia-drivers, but it was happening with
older versions too. I happened very rarely though, so it didn't bother
me enough to go investigating.
Here's something to try out: when it happens, hit the shortcut on your
keyboard that temporarily suspends desktop effects. I don't remember
what the default shortcut for it is, as I've changed it, but it's shown
and configured in the "General" tab of "Desktop Effects" in System
Settings. See if hitting the shortcut twice to disable and then
re-enable desktop effects fixes it.
