There was a change in glib that caused openoffice and flash to hang with 100% CPU usage when used *within KDE/Qt*. On Kubuntu Gutsy (upgraded from Feisty), I can confirm the deadlocking in KDE for openoffice (I don't use gnome). Flash (nspluginviewer) hangs every time in Konqueror when I go to a page with flash in it, until I run killall nspluginviewer. Flash works fine in Firefox though.
They fixed the problem by recompiling GTK with the latest version of glib.
Arch Linux seems to ave had the exact same problem: http:// www.archlinux. org/news/ 338/
