Sounds almost like kdesktop is deadlocked. Next time it happens can you
break into kdesktop with gdb (gdb --pid `pidof kdesktop`), execute "thread
apply all bt", and post the output?
Thanks!

All errors are displayed more often before without the above described
desktop problem (no icons, no middle and right mouse button menu).
Process kdesktop is running but there is additionally a "[kdesktop_lock]
<defunct>" process. Might this be the culprit? I do not lock my desktop
normally.
I can not kill the <defunct> process but killing kdesktop process and
relaunching it restores all to normal.
now I have a running
21927 pts/4 S 0:00 kdesktop
21928 pts/4 S 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock --internal 21927
process again.

the
desktop lock button (blue lock symbol in the kicker panel) stops
to work.
What service/program to I have to restart in order to fix it without
logging out and in again?

Disappearing icons from the desktop shows to crash KDesktop. Starting should correct the problem.
At this situation please take a look into ~/.xsession-error, if there
is
listed a backtrace about KDesktop crash? It could
help to detect and
fix the
problem.
Update:
Today I faced the problem again. Unfortunately I did not look into the
.xsession-errors file before I started to relaunch kdesktop.
Nevertheless it did not crash. First action: I started kdesktop from
Konsole. It told me that kdesktop is already running but didn't come
back to the prompt. Icons were not recreated. I had to Ctrl-C for the
promt. "ps ax" showed me an old version of kdesktop and a second new one
with <defunct> message. Killing the defunct one was not possible. I
killed the original kdesktop program (Desktop went black) and relaunched
it and - voila - the icons reapeared on the desktop. Also the defunct
process of kdesktop was gone.
I do not find anything special in the xsession errors file. I try to
investigate more accurate next time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
