Richard, I use Kile on a regular basis, but I never experienced that. Or rather, every once in a while I experience a general X-related lockdown---CPU at 100%, no graphic interaction possible, no switching to virtual terminal allowed either (presumably because X steals all keyboard input). My only way out is ssh-ing from another computer and restarting the whole box. I wonder if it is related, though. Are you using nvidia proprietary drivers? The consensus on the archlinux boards seems to point at them.
