Thanks for your response. I finally tracked the problem down! Its the
gecko-mediaplayer plugin that is causing the problem for me.

That plugin was recently un-blacklisted in the chrome dev builds (as
previously it would cause hangs). It seems to be fine under gnome but
not under kde. I wonder whats going on there? Maybe I'll ask on the
gecko-mediaplayer list.

Thanks again. Its was so useful to know it worked for someone under kde.
