I'm happy to keep troubleshooting if you have any specific suggestions, but ... The problem went away after a couple of hours. I had not done a software update, so it was not due to a fix. The problem was simply temporary. Currently it takes a couple seconds for the "Save As" dialog to show up. Not sure if that is normal or not. I'm new to truly using the KDE as my office desktop. When the problem was occurring, the dialog box never opened. And I could generate it by simply typing oocalc in konsole, then clicking file-save as. No debug messages were displayed in the konsole tab. I'm guessing that clicking "Save As" caused something in the KDE event processing logic to stall. The mouse would move, but I got no feedback when I clicked on various things. The only keyboard activity I noticed that worked was cntrl-alt-F2, and also alt-tab. If I used alt-tab to select most of the things I had running, then no effect from that either. OTOH, if I used alt-tab to select a konsole program I had running, it came to the foreground and I was able to interact with it by typing commands. I don't remember trying to change to different konsole tab.
