Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Debian stable Packages I run the system monitor on my taskbar. At random times, usually after a window manager event of some kind, the CPU bar goes to the top. If I look at a process list, there are usually one or more kdeinit's hogging up the CPU. If I kill them, I break the session and have to logout. The race condition disappears when I logout out to kdm and log back in. I know this is vague, but the race seems to be randomly initiated. At one point, several times in a row, I was able to start the race simply by typing 'ls' in a konsole window. Thankfully that has stopped now. Other times have been during the creation of a new tab in konqueror, closing windows.
I am not sure I understand. Can you look at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74130 ? Does that look like the problem you are seeing?

Yes. When I looked at the process list with "top" I only saw kdeinit, not the kded process. After reading the above report, the next time it happened I used "ps" to look at the processes and indeed the racing process shows as kdeinit: kded. Killing it and restarting it, fixes it too. You can clear my bug report, it's a clear dupe of this. A
