Run into that too. Exactly same situation -KDE, OO.org, heavy graphical
editing (resizing images in Impress etc.), mouse moving but nothing
responding, etc... Identical bug.

I attributed the cause to the Beryl SVN I'm always running, so I didn't
feel entitled to complain. If you are not running Beryl, however, it
would be nice to know more -so to find what bug is or to file one.

Thanks,
