           Summary: it is possible for programs or applications to cause
                    system lockups
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: illumilore at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Whenever running a program that goes amok, ie starts using %100 cpu or hard
drive, kde will eventually lockup.
Example of this would be running an fullscreen game inside virtualbox, and then
constantly resizing virtualbox until it starts locking up. When this happens,
kde will freeze up with it, after a while, ctrl-alt-f1 does not even work.

KDE should launch programs at a lower priority or set critical system and UI
priorities higher so that this does not occur.

Reproducible: Always
