This has only happened twice that I can recall, both in past couple of days.
Last update was a short, hand-picked amount of apps, hoping to avoid breaking
the stability I've enjoyed for months. Tail of /var/log/YaST2/y2logRPM:

Right now that produces:
mediamanager
remotedirnotify
dnssdwatcher
konqy_preloader
kinetd
medianotifier
systemdirnotify
homedirnotify
networkstatus
favicons
kwrited
khotkeys

But, I presume you mean when I can reproduce. ;-) I shut down the machine to
check BIOS temps, fans and clean again, and it hasn't yet happened again.

I have a hunch that it's related to DVD insertion/knotify. The first instance
happened only after the problem reported in
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=122875116924368&w=2 after which I
remember Konq complaining on automatic opening on blank DVD insertion (at the
request of K3B). Over the next several days I should be performing similar
non-routine activity again.

Thanks!
