kded cpu usage

[Sven Richter]

Hello List,

scince a couple of days i have a major problem.

The process kded  uses between 90 and 99% of my cpu.
This is what top shows me:

 7227 sveri     25   0 36316  17m  13m R  99  0.9 330:57.85 kded

   38 root      13  -5     0    0    0 S    0  0.0   0:00.00 kacpi_notify

And another odd thing i mentioned is the output of ps ax:

Why do i have all these question marks there?

If somebody knows what i could check out and
try to resolve these problems i would be very happy.

BTW i use Feisty 07 and installed beryl, which i 
deactivated cause it caused some crashs in the past.
