I can confirm this and I think it is indeed related to the kopete notification
for new messages.
When a new message arrives, the kopete animated notification icon is displayed
in the notification area of the plasma panel. If you click it or open kopete to
see the message that arrived within a few minutes, nothing abnormal happens.
However, if you let the animated icon unattended for some time, it occasionally
will become static and the plasma panel almost freezes. Other applications
continue running normally. When the plasma panel is in this state, anything you
click on it does not respond immediately, but will respond eventually, some
times after a reasonably long time.
If you then click the kopete notification icon, eventually the kopete window
will open to show the new message and the icon disappears from the notification
area. After that, the plasma panel will gradually return to normality and will
become responsive again after a few minutes (normally 5-7 minutes).
This happens everytime some one sends me a message while my computer is
unattended. When I come back, the plasma panel is unresponsive.
As far as I can see, this has nothing to do with for how long kopete is
running, but with for how long you ignore its notifications when a new message
arrives.
