I don't have an example at hand. The mailing list archives
at kde.org might. I do know it has to do with all the updating
that goes on in the .kde directory. It _may_ also have to do
with dcop as well.

Maybe not a good design choice, but we do pressure the developers
to release our FAV desktop when it might need just a little bit
more time maturing ;-). Having said that, I am sure that they
are aware of this problem. As Rex Dieter said, there is at least
one KDE developer who has solved part of the problem.
