Bug Description
The process plasma-desktop uses most of time between 60 and 90% of my CPU when KDE is started.
In order to fix the situation (and make plasma-desktop use ~ 10% of CPU), the following works most of time
1. right click on the desktop
2. unblock widgets
3. re-block widgets
When it does not work, the fact to change the wallpaper fixes the situation (I'm using globe -> OpenStreetMap). Notice that re-changing the wallpaper to OpenStreetMap does not re-create the problem.

I have the same problem with an Nvidia card on an other computer.

I am having the same problem. I usually just end up killing plasma-desktop and restarting it. This probably happens 10x throughout the day. I have not seen the same problem on my other desktop. This problem started when I upgraded to KDE 4.3.0.
