I would check the logfiles (I don't know if KDE has its own one), ps(1) 
and top(1). I suspect some processes is eating up resources. Based on 
the output one can draw conclusions which processes interfere and cause 
the freeze.

I must admit though that I don't have much experience when it comes to 
this type of bugchasing.


HTH,
