When I leave my computer running with the Mozilla Update feed (url) https://addons.mozilla.org/rss/?application=firefox&type=E&list=newest . When I return I see a dialog box ( http://avuton.com/~sbh/problem.png ), then I drop to a shell and see KWin running at 100%. It shows a number in the dialog box title (most of the time <27> sometimes as much as <33>), I assume meaning it tried this many times and after loading the box so many times something goes wrong. I restart kdm and things go back to normal. I get back, I can move the mouse, but can't interact with kde _at all_. I have duplicated this ~4 times before writing this report.

At a first glance, this seems related in some way to this bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100302, plus there's some bad interaction with kwin... I don't think it's Gentoo specific, so I suggest to file a bug at http://bugs.kde.org.
