I reported this exact same problem to this list several months ago:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=98198532526722&w=2

It got no response at all. My solution was simply to stop running kmix; I 
hardly ever use it anyway. I didn't raise a bug report, so maybe that action 
will have a result this time round.
