I don't see any point in reporting a bug since this isn't reproducible.

While dragging an icon, you could expect that X might use as much as 50% 
of the CPU usage, but this should stop almost immediately.  If X uses 
more than that or continues to have high CPU usage after you release the 
mouse button, then you have a problem.  But, the problem is probably not 
a bug in KDE.

I suggest that you post to one of the support lists: 'kde' or 
'kde-linux' [if you use Linux].  It is also possible that this is a 
distro specific bug if you are using Linux.  So, you might also ask on 
your distro's support list or newsgroup.
