Package: klash
Version: 0.8.6-1
Severity: normal

I just want to point out, that this problem persists, and that it may
have become more serious in KDE4.  Since switching to KDE 4 I have
experienced several times that it is either very time consuming or
downright impossible to leave the KDE "lock" state.  In some cases I
have had to toggle the power on my computer, as if it was a Windows
system :-(

It took some time and invistigation to discover the common denominator
for these situations: that my Konqueror was displaying a web page with
some Flash window in it.  My typical case is www.dmi.dk, the weather
forecast from Danish Institute of Meteorology; but I guess most Flash
ads will have the same effect.

Somehow the already high CPU usage of kde4-gnash is irritated by the
lock situation to increase its CPU usage to very close to 100%,
effective killing the system.

I now know how to avoid this situation.  But it is a serious quality
problem for the distribution, it almost merits a release critical
flag.

best regards
