I have seen similar lockups, when I ssh to the machine and do "ps ax"  
I can see that the X server and various KDE processes are stuck in the  
D (uninterruptable sleep) state. Hard reset with reset button is the  
only thing that helps, "shutdown" or "reboot" commands don't have any  
effect. Please post your Bugzilla report number, I'll add my own  
information to help to solve this.
