Mine is a 64bit system and virtually all KDE packages are installed. It has
been happening since soon after installing (fresh) Fedora 17.
Like Don noted, when this is happening I have no problem switching between desktops, so
plasma isn't the culprit, it seems. Because I always see abrt-applet using lots of CPU
cycles upon switching desktops to a "locked" app, I have been assuming it was
related to a null pointer error in the kernel that was supposed to be fixed in 3.4.5-2
(BZ 838730). Installing the kernel last night did not fix it.

My system is running KDE and is fully updated (30 minutes ago) via the

Is any body else seeing this?
I have a similar, but perhaps more drastic, problem.
When I run KDE, *everything* will lock up after some undetermined amount
of time. When I move the mouse the cursor moves on the screen, but
nothing updates. I can't switch to another window or desktop; for all
intents and purposes the KDE session is dead. To be honest, I can't
remember if the command line is accessible via telnet or ssh from
another machine, but I'm sure I could find out tonight. This doesn't
happen at all in LXDE, which is what I tend to run to avoid these problems.
Likewise I am fully updated, but not only using default but also
RPMfusion repositories.

A few questions:
1. 32-bit or 64-bit for the different boxes?
2. Is this a recent problem, i.e., did the problem just start
happening after an update?
I'm running several boxes using KDE with kernel 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 that
were updated to the latest <everything> last weekend. I don't see any
issues and their uptime ranges from 2 to 5 days. I don't have "desktop
effects" enabled.
For reference here's a short list of a few of the KDE packages I have
installed:
kde-baseapps-4.8.4-1.fc17.x86_64
kdelibs-common-4.8.4-5.fc17.x86_64
