I have been working on a system freeze up related to konqueror all day, and I think this may be the reason for it.
I have tried a lot of hypotheses of my own making and some with a little help from my friends at kubuntuforums.net.
Please see this thread for more information on my error-searching and fixing attemtps: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3091920.0

There might be something related to the local cache because the first time I opened konqueror AND SURFED THE WEB after after i did 
mv .kde .kde_old
I could run konqueror fine. 
The second time, however, the system freeze was back. 

I then noticed that I got a particular errormessage in .xsession-errors:
ASSERT: "!icon.isEmpty()" in /build/buildd/kdebase-3.5.8/./libkonq/konq_pixmapprovider.cc (81)

Next, I tried running konqueror from a konsole window. 
I get the same error message repeatedly in that window, it just scrolls until I loose count of how many times (ie. when loading www.kde.org, for example.
This typically would result in a system freeze but by disabling local cache it appears that the system does not freeze up anymore, however it does still report the error messages (umpteen times) when loading www.kde.org. 

I suggest that the bug be renamed to provide more intuitive information,
ie contain part of the errormessage at least....
