Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: plasma-widgets-workspace

I have a 320 GB USB drive which has about 200 GB data.
When I mount my drive, either clicking on Device Notifier applet or by dolphin 
Places, plasma panel freezes for a few seconds, ie until the drive is opened in 
dolphin it freezes the panel and everything goes back to normal once dolphin 
opens the drive.

Its the same if I mount manually using mount command. Plasma freezes for a few 
seconds, during which
1. system tray works.
2. no other applets in plasma works - eg, desktop switcher, task manager, 
notifiactions
3. alt-tab switching of applications work.

I believe its not related to device notifier.
I removed Device Notifier. Mounted from konsole. After 2 seconds it freezes the 
plasma panel. I dont even have any dolphin or anything running. But the device 
is properly mounted. I opened a movie in the drive with mplayer when the plasma 
panel was in a frozen state.

So my guess some process related to plasma is reading something from the
device which freezes it.
