I had similar problems. In my case it was a malfunction or an old wrong
configuration from artsd. When I stopped and disabled the arts-daemon
everything went fine again.
Try "top" and look if arts gives you full CPU-usage when you start an
application.
I still havn't found a solution to get along with artsd... => sad story for
an entusiastic KDE-User :(
Kind regards,
