I actually had a mild version of the symptom you describe
under KDE-4.7 , though it only occurred occasionally,
and seemed to have disappeared completely.
It hasn't occurred with KDE-4.8, which I am running at present
(from Rex Dieter's kde48 repo).

I don't mind saying "shutdown -r now" occasionally ...
