If so, you may be able to stop the problem when it occurs by stopping kat - which can be done from the tray icon. No-one has explained satisfactorily why there should be a problematic interraction between kat, kded and xorg, but there is one. If you check top you will see that X is what is listed as running away, but if you uninstall kat the problem disappears. At least that's what many people have found.
