Bug 529373

Description of problem:
Anytime the network service is stopped, the network cable is unplugged, any
connection loss to the outside at all causes the desktop to bog down real bad.
It looks/behaves like it is frozen but really if you allow the operation like
opening Dolphin several minutes it does eventually open. As soon as the network link is re-established everything becomes snappy again. 

FYI: This happens whether you use the network manager service or not. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Unknown

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable Network Manager in Services GUI
2. Configure a static IP for eth0 using "Network Configuration" GUI
3. Observe connection works and desktop responds well
4. Open terminal window and place on desktop #6
5. Go to terminal and su to root and exec /etc/init.d/network stop
6. Observe the link go down
7. Attempt to switch to another desktop, open dolphin, etc.
8. At this time you will see the desktop appear to freeze but give it a while and it will eventually do what you ask. 
9. Go back to terminal exec /etc/init.d/network start
10. Observe the link come up
11. Now any desktop operation like opening Dolphin is immediately responsive
  
Actual results:
Desktop actions have a severe latency when network link is down. It appears to actually freeze but waiting minutes you will see the desktop eventually respond.

Expected results:
Desktop actions execute at same speed whether network link is up or down.

Additional info:
Apologies for choosing kdebase4 component, I couldn't find a kdeplasma entry.

Fresh install of F10 from DVD with all update from repo. Contact me if you would like me to capture any debug info. This is a development machine so if we have to install specialized stuff to capture the info you need that's not a problem. Thanks for the assistance.

Cheers!
