+The solution which worked most of the time for such issues in kde 4.6.xx
+was:
+1. open a terminal
+2. run killall plasma-desktop
+3. plasma-desktop
+
+the plasmoids and the desktop come back, and kded4 stops using that much
+CPU.
+
+Last time I looked what it was looking CPU at, it was caused by some
+run-away timer loop deep in kdelibs, but as those issues are quite random I
+haven't figured out what exactly causes this.
