strange happenings (qdbus?) since 4.8.2

since upgrading to KDE 4.8.2 (from openSUSE's KDE:/Distro:/Factory repo)  
yesterday, i find that ktorrent frequently freezes, without hogging CPU or  
RAM though. it simply stops responding for a few minutes but will come  
'back to life' eventually.

starting ktorrent from the command line, i get this:

-------------
phani@phani:~> ktorrent
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.  
Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication.  
Application may misbehave.
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a  
valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you  
tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was  
created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
-------------

ktorrent starts anyway, but, as mentioned above, freezes from time to time.

i've seen similar freezes, though shorter-lived, with opera, also after  
the upgrade to 4.8.2

i don't find anything intersting in my logs, apart perhaps from this,  
repeated several time in today's /var/log/messages:

-------------

name='org.kde.ksysguard.processlisthelper' (using servicehelper)

service name='org.kde.ksysguard.processlisthelper' (using servicehelper)

Apr  4 12:46:13 phani dbus[1275]: [system] Successfully activated service  
'org.kde.ksysguard.processlisthelper'
-------------

(haven't noticed any problem with ksysguard; there are no ktorrent related  
entries.)

was looking through bugs.kde.org, but couldn't find anything that looked  
related.

what should i do? wait for it to go away eventually, or do some further  
research? if the latter, what, exactly?
