Application: plasma-desktop (0.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.7.00 (4.7.0)
Qt Version: 4.7.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 x86_64
Distribution: "Gentoo Base System release 2.0.3"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

This happens to me when I either start KDE or then kill and re-run plasma-desktop (kquitapp'ing it doesn't stop it).

- Unusual behavior I noticed:

CPU rises to 100% and stays there.

More often then not 'plasma-desktop' doesn't even show anything (anymore) on the screen and leaves it blank, while the process is still eating up 100% CPU.

This does not happen to 'plasma-netbook'

I have already tried to remerge (=reinstall/recompile on Gentoo) PyQt4, sip, pykde4, plasma-runtime and plasma-workspace, but it doesn't fix it.

If I 'rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*', it works.

- Custom settings of the application:

I will attach my '~/kde4/share/config/plasma*'.

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.
