I'm seeing something maybe related on F14 KDE 4.6.5.

Everything works, than suddenly all KDE applications get stuck and do not
refresh the screen anymore; the clock is stopped, desktop switching only
happens with Ctrl-F{1-...}, but non KDE applications (Firefox, Pidgin) still
run perfectly.
The KDE processes are all stuck in D state: typically kded4, konqueror, konsole.
strace is impossible, kill -9 is impossible.
Killing X doesn't remove the applications and the new KDE session does not
manage to start them correctly.

I suspected a kernel bug (maybe related to Nouveau), but after having upgraded
to the current F16 kernel (on F14) it still happens, so I would think it is
not kernel related.

Some signs point to sync being involved. I've seen sync_supers stuck in D state.

When trying a echo "t" >/proc/sysrq-trigger I manage to find only a partial
output in /var/log/messages (msg buffer overflow?).

Yesterday some processes were "D", but only a non KDE process was logged (mencoder,
possibly locked because of konsole); I'm not sure what the trace is saying,
but there is again some arrows pointing to "sync".
Where can I file a bug? Is someone able to offer any insight?

Best regards.
