I have 2.0.2 , Mdk10 with the latest KDE and cannot replicate your problem. However, I do have other problems with KDE and have now switched to Icewm where "all my problems" have disappeared! So I wonder if you try another window manager and see what happens? I have found that when I got a lock up like you, my escape route was to Alt+Ctrl+F8 which dropped me into a console. That at least allowed me to continue some background processes thought iirc killall X and restart didn't get me back(nor did Alt+F7), maybe do some experiments without your dial-up connection.
