I updated my system (I had an uptime of 9 days) and when I rebooted, I encountered a problem with KDE applications. When performing inter-process call, it takes the X.org process to 100%, a set of programs that also write to X go to high values as well (tilda, conky), and then the solution is to restart X.
It happens in dolphin (or konqueror) when clicking on a file that will open with kwrite, okular, gwenview, kolourpaint; but not if the file is opened with a non-KDE application (scite, mupdf, gimp). It also happens when following an embedded link in a pdf opened in okular. I can open the same applications from the command line or by a call from a non-KDE application (e.g. zim), the problem only happens if the call is performed by a KDE application.
What should be my starting point to find the problem? I did not update dbus or kde-frameworks lately. Would it be helpful to use strace or gdb?
