On two of my machines I have Kubuntu 10.04.1 and KDE 4.5.1. Both started out with 9.10 then went to 10.04 then KDE was upgraded. On both plasma-desktop randomly freezes. When this happens I can't click desktop shortcuts, the menu, anything on the desktop, the task bar doesn't change, the clocks don't change, ect. However I can still "Alt+F2" and get the command launcher and run programs, desktop effects still work, everything else is still functional. To un-freeze it I have to either logout/log back in, restart X, or kill plasma-desktop and restart it. Nothing I have done has helped this at all. Is there something obvious I'm missing or some bug or something that can be fixed? Thanks!

Re: Plasma Freezes (KDE 4.5.1)
You might want to try
sudo apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop
and follow that with plasma-desktop
Then reboot."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Well I tried that yesterday, and so far it hasn't frozen once. For the time being it seems like that worked!Acer Aspire 5810TZ - Debian Sid (KDE 4.5.3)/Mac OS X 10.6.3<br />*Intel Pentium SU2700 @ 1.3GHz, 3 gig DDR3 RAM, Intel GMA x4500*<br /><br />Custom Desktop - Kubuntu 10.10 (KDE 4.6.1)<br />*2x Dual-Core Intel Xeon @3.2GHz, 3 gig RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT*<br /><br />iPod Touch 4th Gen - iOS 4.1 (Greenpois0n Jailbreak)<br />*Comment
