When I was seeing the problem during my rsync experiments I tried leaving 
things alone for quite a long time, without them clearing.  Since we don't 
have a clue at the moment as to the cause it's hard to do any serious 
troubleshooting.

I assume it has something to do with kio-slaves (something I know nothing 
about) because when that happens I can't run Dolphin or KWrite or a number of 
other applications.  They all open with a blank grey screen.  Working without 
a file manager is extremely slow ;-)
