which app is responsible for drawing the desktop icons in kde?
In general, kdesktop
(I had a similar problem to the one mentioned by Donald Henson). Is it suseplugger? And if not, then what does sueseplugger do?
suseplugger detects devices plugged into your system, such as disk partitions, inserted CD/DVD discs, usb ram drives (the ones that are supported, at least) and creates an icon for it, and deletes it when it detects that you remove the hotplugged device
Is appletproxy anything to do with desktop icons?
No. I'm not entirely sure what appletproxy is, but a quick google seems to suggest that it's the program responsible for running the kicker (panel) applets.
I ask because during the session where I experienced the problem, appletproxy was eating cpu.
Could be that it was doing something that caused the core kde processes to slow down, if not hang completely
