I have found a reproducible problem that causes
KDE and MDK 7.2 to hang--requiring hard reboot.

I am curious if this causes problems for others,
before I report this bug.

The problem concerns the use of Konqueror to display
the file: /usr/share/doc/cups/sam.html.

When I open Konqueror from the panel button (with no
URL), type in /usr/share/doc/cups/sam.html and hit return,
the page begins to load, then hangs.  I have a brief bit
of very delayed mouse activity and then nothing.
ctrl-alt-fx  and ctrl-alt-bs have no effect.

I first encountered this problem by navigating to
/usr/share/doc/cups/documentation.html, and then clicking
on the link to the software admin manual.  Oddly, the page
will come up without immediately hanging, but if you try to
click on links or even scroll it, KDE will eventually hang.

I did once mangage to click on the close window button and
Konqueror eventually closed, but KDE was hosed (could not
get a shell window to open to look at processes).

Between this serious problem and the other problem I am having
with fonts getting screwed up and not being able to be fixed
without deleting the .kde directory, I am about to give up
on KDE 2 and MDK 7.2 for now.  I certainly cannot recommend
MDK 7.2 to anyone that wants it for KDE 2.
