Yes, I see this, although everything seems to wake up again here after
something like 30 seconds.
I found it to be much worse when I was running two panels, with an RSS
reader in the second panel -- to the point where I removed the second panel
because the annoyance of having the desktop freeze several times a day was
just too much.
I don't understand what could cause the problem. It seemed to be associated
with a single plasmoid getting blocked. But I have a hard time believing
that the developers do not spawn all plasmoids as distinct threads (so
there should be no interaction amongst them), so maybe I was just imagining
a relationship between a blocked plasmoid and the freezing.
But I agree that they do all freeze sometimes.
I have run several themes, and haven't noticed any obvious difference in
the rate of occurrence of the freezes as a function of the theme.
