The solution which worked most of the time for such issues in kde 4.6.xx
was:
1. open a terminal
2. run killall plasma-desktop
3. plasma-desktop

the plasmoids and the desktop come back, and kded4 stops using that much
CPU.

Last time I looked what it was looking CPU at, it was caused by some
run-away timer loop deep in kdelibs, but as those issues are quite random I
haven't figured out what exactly causes this.
