Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux kded4 uses 100% of core on mobile broadband modem disconnect (Kubuntu 11.04). Using sakis3g to connect as Network manager applet will not connect Vodafone Huawei modem. 2 kded4 processes are found to be running in system activity. Some processes won't start or are seriously delayed (amarok / logout) - sometimes system becomes sluggish. On killing kded4 process, system is returned to normal. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Disconnect mobile broadband modem. Actual Results: System Activity shows 100% cpu usage for kded4 Expected Results: CPU should idle Network Manager applet removed, as it will not connect vodem, and interferes with Sakis3g. I also seem to be experiencing the same symptoms intermittently without connecting to the internet, with kded4 and knotify4 using 100% of one core.
