Nah the unix guy is suffering from a bug in X and or in the protocol handling of KDE in general including Konqueror / kmail / file dialog boxes / etc... Long title bars are one way of triggering this. I have posted a few times on this... xterm --title b0fhere may crash your box if you have the bug in X. If its a bug in Konqueror / KDE protocols try making an html file with AAAAAAAA... a few thousand times as the <title>AAA....</title> and open it.
