Since upgrading from 11.2 to 11.3 a few days ago, I have likely the same bug so
here's a few observations for what it's worth:

I have a Mobility Radeon 9700 64mb card in my laptop. Standard 11.3
installation with KDE 4.4.4. Total system freezes few times a day, as above,
with no solution other than power button. Tried SysRq, Ctrl-Alt-2xBcksp,
Ctrl-Esc etc, no joy.

Tried disabling Kwin desktop effects/compositing, lasted about a day until it
crashed again. Also tried switching XRender to OpenGL. Seemed to happen most
frequently with Firefox as active window and once in SeaMonkey, so avoided
Mozilla products but then got same freeze in ReKonq or just displaying desktop.
Tried disabling Flash; still happens. For some reason, using Konqueror I seem
to last out considerably longer than with any other browser. What could that
imply? Merely coincidental??

First time I've had such issues since running oS 9.2 upwards on same machine
with open source graphics drivers only, so my best hunch was the new Radeon
code for R300 series cards included in the 2.6.34 kernel, first evident in
openSUSE with the 11.3 release and which now shows there being 3D support in my
system info. However, above linked reports would suggest wider problem not just
linked to Radeon cards.
