For the case it may be useful for others, the bug is in the kded daemon for application menus. Since I disabled it, I found no more of these problems in (1) konqueror/rekonq; neither a temporary lapse in which (2) kile was irresponsive on startup (which I realized after filling this bug), as well as in (3) kde telepathy when I tried to open a chat (again with same sort of dbus hangs).
I found the root of the problem because the bug was 100% reproducible in kile not bein responsive on startup until the following message appeared in the terminal: kile(29554)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*): KSystemTimeZones: ktimezoned initialize() D-Bus call failed: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283753 Title: kde session hangs when konqueror/rekonq interacts with kcookiejar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde4libs/+bug/1283753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
