Desktop "stickiness" under Fedora-16/KDE

[Timothy Murphy]

My desktop siezes up every hour or so;
I can continue in the current desktop,
but cannot change to another desktop
or go to another application by clicking on an icon in the panel.

The problem cures itself in 20-30 seconds,
so it is not life-threatening.

I killall-ed upowerd, but that didn't do the trick.
There is nothing untoward in /var/log/messages.

The problem could be to do with Firefox or KDE or Fedora;
I'm not sure which.

I've seen a few comments on this,
but has anyone found a cure?
