I delayed responding in the hope that the original poster would answer. As 
he did not...

I tried renaming .kde. I think that worked, but as the problem is 
intermittent cannot say for sure. I really didn't like losing my settings 
and the effort copying the config back one file at a time, and so renamed 
it back.  I then deleted some caches. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of 
which - I think it included tmp/orbit-* . Again this has apparently fixed 
it.  Incidentally this PC normally runs for weeks at a time between 
reboots.

I think the problem is starting to recur - the kde startup hung this morning 
for the first time in a couple of weeks. This time perhaps I'll be a bit 
more methodical about what I do to try to fix it. 

Two things happened about the time it started
1 Mandrake issued a bug fix to kde, which I installed from within kde (using 
mandrake Control Centre)
2 I started running kmail remotely from another PC over ssh. (Not when 
logged onto the main PC.) Also sometimes running a complete kde session 
remotely using XDMCP.
