Well, I was right

ActivitiesSync::currentActivity

        while (activities->serviceStatus() == KActivities::Consumer::Unknown) {
            QCoreApplication::instance()->processEvents();
        }
        

Your QML code is creating an activities model which calls this rather 
questionable segment of code.
It's possible Kicker is too.

You can push your change if you want a quick fix, it won't do any harm, but the 
real fix will be replacing this method. 

Blocking DBus calls should be made with the normal sensible blocking DBus API 
(or not done at all) not doing this processing all sorts of things out of whack.
