Thanks for the fix. It was driving me insane.

I agree that kded4 is too important to not have some safety net...

Should we create a kded4 watchdog? That checks (via dbus) whether it is still 
running or locked up?
Could the watchdog also be a thread in kded4? In that case I think it could 
only catch lockups and then kill itself. Could it schedule a restart of 
kded4?
