First of all why do you have two kdesktop processes running?
do you have dual head GPU, or second user?
Secondly I spent some time last year dealing with similar issue. From time
to time the PC was becoming unresponsive and was starting to swap like
crazy. I ended up installing more ram. It turned out Firefox was consuming
more and more RAM until it got exhausted, then it started swapping and was
killed by the oomp killer. I have configured monitoring and it showed
clearly that it was increasing over time. Now I have 20GB of RAM and I
restart firefox when RAM consumption exceeds 80+%.
However in your case it could be another issue.
