  I wouldn't rule out the konqueror crash plugin too.  If I try to select that 
menu entry on dual-athlon right now it takes over 8 minutes and counting for 
the sub-menu to appear.  The CPU load wasn't high on the machine, but the 
entire desktop was frozen (save the mouse pointer).  I had to log in remotely 
to kill the konqi process.  Alex is going to fix it he says.
