It looks like the kded4 high-CPU is _not_ related to any of the following modules:
bluedevil desktopnotifier device_automounter dnssdwatcher favicons freespacenotifier keyboard khotkeys kmixd ksvnd ktimezoned kwrited networkstatus obexftpdaemon powerdevil randrmonitor remotedirnotify solidautoeject statusnotifierwatcher I have used "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule" to unload, one by one, each and every module, until "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadedModules" listed nothing. So even with no loaded module, kded4 is taking too much CPU. Is kded4 broken? How come there is no upstream report about kded4's high CPU usage? I started to lose my confidence in the IQ of the Linux users... R-C aka beranger
