           Summary: Desktop unresponsive if no internet connection exists
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: german.rmz at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

I am not an advanced user but I will try to explain my problem with detail.

I am connected to a router to get internet through a Ethernet cable. If the
cable is connected and the router provides an IP with exit to the internet,
everything is OK. If the cable is disconnected, everything is OK. The problem
comes when the router provides an internal IP address but with no exit to
internet: the desktop is rendered unresponsive, the taskbar does not respond,
the widgets in the systray does not respond either, if I run an application it
takes more time than expected to show up, etc. If in this situation, I
disconnect the cable, the system is again normal.

I was able to monitor the cpu load during the situation and it stays in normal
levels (ie, the unresponsiveness is not caused by an application using 100% of
the cpu).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect ethernet cable to a router
2. Disable router access to the internet
3. Check behavior

Actual Results:  
-

Expected Results:  
-

Kubuntu 11.04 on 64-bits.
My system has sufficient resources and this unresponsiveness happes only when
the situation explained occurs.
