Sorry I don't have a solution, but I can tell you something like this
happened to me (for the first time!) yesterday. Due to sunspots or
something while I was sleeping, my Kweather applet was unable to get its
updates for many hours. I awakened to find dozens of "Timeout on server"
type error boxes (which didn't show up on the panel, and must've all been
stacked in the same place, because it just looked like the one box) so I
clicked "Ok" very fast until they were all gone.
After I got done exercising my finger, I tried to switch to another
desktop by clicking on the pager, but nothing happened. Some docked
apps, like Licq, would respond, but the clock and most everything else
was frozen. However, switching desktops by <Win-Tab> worked, and by
clicking on the exposed desktop I got a menu so I could log out of KDE.
Perhaps this is related to what happened to you. I'll listen in, in case
someone has a clue about it. :)
KDE 3.x has other oddities I don't like, such as after running for a few
days the screensaver refuses to activate. Oh, and if I log in over VNC,
the keyboard applet segfaults. :-p However, this doesn't seem to cause
any actual harm.
