Hi!

In KDE4, when I drag&drop any range of cell, there's a total freeze of the UI as soon as the drag&drop is initiated (i.e. after celecting cell(s) to be dragged, hold mouse button and move mouse to initiate drag&drop - this is when the freeze happens). I can reproduce this on any spreadsheet, includin a new, empty one.

Moreover, the freeze includes the whole X.org UI, including desktop. There's no way to kill LibreOffice from the GUI. However, CTRL+ALT+F -keys still work so one can go to a VT and kill libreoffice from there, and the UI is released.

I can work around this freeze by setting "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome", of course I loose all KDE integration by doing that.

This happens on Gentoo. Also there's a bug in Gentoo's bugzilla for libreoffice 3.4.1 with an identical issue, but that one is closed (as the issue was fixed). See <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375277>.

I apologize if this is and duplicate, bug #48849 seems similar but is for 3.4.3 there's no mention of KDE and it's a crash as I'm experiencing a total freeze.
