No obvious crash - it just froze. Had to reboot the system with the reset
button as no other method was working.

Are you using dial-up with kppp?
I recently saw a freeze-then-reboot under KDE 3.5 which was fixed by
using ppp (user-mode) rather than kppp (kernel-mode) for dial-up.

Next time instead of a reboot, try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. that should
try a shutdown of the X server ... might save you a hard reboot :)
Also are you sure it's KDE? Could it be a weird video driver? Does
it happen with other WMs?
