Have you moved all the windows to look for a modal dialog that never
made it to the top of the pile? This has occasionally happened to me
and I thought all kinds of bad things. Of course, if this is what is
happening some program is badly written and needs a bug fix anyway but
it may mean you don't have to reboot all the time.

Why do you connect the camera to computer? It wastes your camera's battery & is unnecessary?? Use a card reader.
That may be so - but there is indeed something wrong there. I hook up my camera fairly often to store pictures on my hard drive. with 9.3 and 10.0, I usually close the kde popup that appears when I plug in the camera, and start gtkam instead. I've never had any problem with anything freezing.
On 10.1 I've been using gnome+xgl out of curiosity, and when I plug in the camera f-spot pops up and allows me to see all the pictures. As before, gtkam can also be used to examine or store the pictures and to delete them from the camera.

Sounds like your camera issues are symptoms of a deeper problem with your setup. The fact that you *ever* had to reboot is a sure sign. since it's not something you'd normally do in linux.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were some sort of kernel panic messages in the system logs. If you can see them in dmesg or /var/log/messages, that would provide some clues about what is happening. Alternatively, there could be error messages in .xession-errors, if it's a user-level issue.
Speaking of which, suse 10.0 comes with kde 3.4.2 - where did the upgrade come from? Was there any problem with the camera on the original version of kde?
