Description Albert Schueller 2004-02-09 08:16:10 UTC 
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.
