It's working fine here, for months.
How long do you keep it running? I never keep it running more than 4-5 days.

This is what I allways do with such problems:
- check myr /tmp and /var/tmp directory:
  exit the session and blank all /tmp and /var/tmp directories containing my 
login name.
- test with a new configuration:
  either on a test account or by removing (or renaming) the 
.kde/share/apps/konqueror folder and the .kde/share/config/konquerorrc file
