I don't know about Kongueror but it is a known (to me at least) problem in 
Mozilla in Linux (and Netscape under Windows too IIRC). When you run 
Mozilla, a separate task is also running. All connections (or at least the 
name lookups go through the separate task). Sometimes that other task gets 
confused or locks up and all your Mozilla/Netscape windows will pretty much 
grind to a halt. Exit the program normally and then check the list of 
running tasks. You will often then see the piece of Mozilla/Netscape that 
is still there which is the piece that is causing problems. Kill that 
remnant and restart the program and you should be back in business again.
