Argghh !

It's a problem related to Xorg / KDE / Gnome.
With some versions of KDE, many ports are opened. And Xorg can only 
manage a maximum amount of opened ports (256).
I switched to XFCE for now until a patched version of KDE is released.

Some similar problems have been reported with firefox and thunderbirds 
(with some specific plugins).
