I am running Fedora 16 which was created from an F15 install via preupgrade.
Note though that the homedir is in a separate filesystem and hasn't been re-created for some time, so there might be cruft in it.
The desktop is very slow in refreshes. If I change virtual desk pages then the previous page still shows for some time and the system monitor widget shows CPU is high.
Top confirms the CPU hog is plasma_desktop, and strace shows stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2183, ...}) = 0
I saw a note via google to remove $HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop* and doing that did solve the problem but the problem is back.
Deleting those means configuring my desktop again, I'd rather avoid that if I can!

What plasma applets/widgets are you using? Perhaps one (or more) of them are causing the problem.

Given the strace output I thought maybe it was the digital clock so I removed that. No change. I then removed the system monitor, no change. Those are the only 2 widgets I have added over the defaults.
If I restart the desktop then everything is OK for a while, takes some hours for it to go bad again. That does seem to be some hours of actual use rather than hours per se, as it hasn't gone bad overnight.

The system monitor applet was known to go nuts on occasion in the past, but I thought that issue had been resolved. maybe not.

And I think maybe not too.
Because I thought I'd try removing again, and this time it was definitely system monitor as removing it fixed the problem. I think last time I didn't restart plasma-desktop after removing it, this time I did.
