I can confirm this bug exists with KDE 4.2 final. I'm using Arch Linux,
bleeding edge per their repos. Plasma, when this problem occurs, 'top's at
95-100% system load for me, hanging the desktop almost entirely.

This is the third or fourth time, exhibiting these symptoms and performing
these steps, plasma has decided to drop on me in the last two weeks. Each of
these times the lockup has been a result of attempting to load desktop widgets,
and at no time has only a singular desktop widget been the cause. No matter the
selection, sometimes plasma will work and sometimes it outright refuses,
hanging in the process. As mentioned before by another, the solution is to
enter the terminal (I always have one open on a desktop) and do a "killall
plasma" + "plasma". As a result of the command, I'm back running again with my
setup before attempting to add a widget.

Mentioned before, removing the plasma*rc files did change the inability to add
plasma items the last go-around. Unfortunately, it also affected my desktop's
contents greatly and forced a setup from a fresh start. Considering this is the
second time I would have to do this in as many weeks, I'm posting here in hopes
this bug will be fixed in a timely manner. I'll help any way that I can.
