Hmm, doesn't look like the log would be of any help. I'm afraid that there is 
a fundamental issue with more than one DCOPClient in the same process which 
we've been so far unable to find. At least I've spent my share of hours 
staring at the code and trying to figure it out. 

Unfortunately, those at SUSE that frequently hit this issue are not willing to 
install debugging versions of KDE to be able to track it down (even though 
they're ex-KDE-developers, bastards), so it remains a mystery to me. 

I'm however using myself the patch below and I haven't experienced any of 
those lockups anymore in many months.
