Bug 263629

Please report to the developers of the "yasp" plasma widget that using 349 threads is just insane.

Possibly the icon and Plasma theme caches are corrupt, especially if you've had earlier versions of KDE 4.5 series installed earlier.

A possible workaround is to delete the *.kcache files that are normally in /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/*.kcache. You can find the exact directory by running the "kde4-config --path cache" command at a terminal. It is safe to delete *.kcache files in this directory even if KDE is already running, but you would need to restart KDE for that deletion to fully take effect.

Please note that the upcoming 4.6 release has fixed an additional bug with KSharedDataCache (with 4.5.4 after resetting the caches, you may get warning messages about the cache possibly being corrupt, but it shouldn't crash)

Please let me know if the workaround helps, and if the bug you are having persists in the 4.6 release when it happens (and note that the bugfix I'm referring to is /very recent/, it was not part of any 4.6 release candidate).

after both removing the yasp widget and deleting the icon cache I haven't been able to reproduce the bug anymore
