I had the same type fo problems without doing anything
but accepting the default values; the system would freeze,
after 30 or 40 seconds it would go back to the Logon Screen,
when I logged on I lost my session, and I was back to the beginning;
other times the system froze and I had to power down. I switched
back to Gnome until some more updates arrive.

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.
