I see a similar problem on my Solaris box at work which does not happen on my Gentoo linux box at home. In my case sometimes when I select a task in the taskbar that has several windows associated with it the system seems to freeze when the menu to select the window appears. However the keyboard still works so I can use the cursor keys to move up and down the menu plus select an entry by pressing return. Once I have done this KDE comes back to life. This started happening when I upgraded QT to 3.2.2 without changing the version of KDE I had at the time - probably 3.1.3. It has persisted since even after upgrading both QT and KDE, so I still see it with my current setup of KDE 3.2 and QT 3.3.0. This makes me think the problem is in QT. However other people at work that are using the same version do not see the problem!
