Robert,
 
For me the issue is different to yours. Like you I am also using the 
KDE4:UNSTABLE, but I have seen this problem already some time ago when the 
2.6.29 version got in the  KOTD location. Kernel 2.6.28 worked fine, but the 
issue started already once the 2.6.29-rc3 became available. 
I can start whatever program without any problems and I have been working the 
whole day without any issue. Unfortunately at a certain moment I had to switch 
to the console to perform some tasks and once switching back I noticed that the 
whole desktop is hanging. I can move the mouse, but that is it. So I can not 
move back to a console to kill kwin and then to try again. 

However I just tried something else. I switched off the Desktop Effects in KDE4 
and rebooted the PC with the 2.6.29 kernel. With these settings I can now 
change to a console session and back again, without any issues. What I notice 
however is that when I switch back with Ctrl-Alt-F7, I shortly see the 
graphical screen with the top covered in black (about half a second), then the 
monitor switches to powersave mode and half a second later the correct 
graphical screen is displayed again. 
So somehow the Xserver is doing something here what causes the hang-up if the 
desktop effects are enabled. Maybe it is the composite mode that is either 
enabled or not ??
 
Regards
 
Raymond
