I'm afraid this isn't my experience.  As I said above, I can restart 
konqueror and everything looks ok again... until it isn't.  I've 
rebooted, too, both after the new kernel installation yesterday and 
again today after updates to firefox, thunderbird, 
kde-plasma-networkmanagement and a few others.  Haven't yet tried just 
restarting kde;  I'm not optimistic about it but I'll give it a try when 
the system isn't busy.

I put this here in case the problem was related to lack of free space in 
the partitions being used; I haven't often worked with them quite so full.

Thanks for the response.  A little auto-magic here might help :-)
