remove all additional plasmoids see if that helps

rename .kde4 to start a new one, see what happens

Process of elimination.

Plasmoids/Widgets whatever.
The plasma desktop itself is one, so just choose plain desktop not folder view, remove any widgets.
If that doesn't solve it.
Try a rename of the .kde4 folder (this will at least establish if there is corrupt settings as opposed to something deeper)
You need to logout to CLI and do

Code:

mv /home/username*/.kde4 .kde_4old

username*=your user name

when you login you will have a new desktop without any settings, like when you first install.
