I selected a file and then clicked on Send File to email it.  Konqueror froze 
every time (irrespective of the size of the file) and I had to kill it.  This 
is what top showed:

7441 michael   20   0 66600  26m  18m R 39.3  4.2   0:16.06 kdeinit4: 
konqueror [kdeinit] --silent

and this is relevant info from ps:

 7441 ?        D      0:32  \_ kdeinit4: konqueror [kdeinit] --silent

Is this a bug?
