  Sorry no I'm a GNOME-guy ;). However do I have a
"similar" (too strong a
 word) in my edgy GNOME install. For me it's the beagle-helper that take
 nearly 100% CPU and RAM, but I does not freeze, just slow down a bit the
 whole. I don't think it's related, but well if someone a solution for
 both it would be cooool ;) 
Well, I've no idea about beagle either ;-)

In the case of kio_thumbnail, bugs.kde.org has several
reports, some of which marked as unconfirmed despite
several submissions and comments describing the same
issue - and ranging from older kde versions to quite
recent (3.5.5) ones. I've added my own report there,
but people don't make a "very interested" impression.
What really bugs me is that I can reproduce the problem
by my daily use - and having the machine unusable for
sth like 20 minutes is not exactly fun (unless I
reboot of course - no, I get no chance to kill the
bastard, not even ctrl-alt-bksp).
Oh well... back to good ol' CLI then...
