Bug Description

Binary package hint: plasma-widgets-workspace

I have a 320 GB USB drive which has about 200 GB data.
When I mount my drive, either clicking on Device Notifier applet or by dolphin Places, plasma panel freezes for a few seconds, ie until the drive is opened in dolphin it freezes the panel and everything goes back to normal once dolphin opens the drive.

Its the same if I mount manually using mount command. Plasma freezes for a few seconds, during which
1. system tray works.
2. no other applets in plasma works - eg, desktop switcher, task manager.
3. alt-tab switching of applications work.

Changed in kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu):
