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.
Cheers,
Stefano
