I'm using debian with kde-trinity. I upgraded from squeeze to wheeze.
I looked yesterday into the package list and found few packages remainded 
still configured, so I cleaned all up.

OK thanks.
I revisited the .config and removed/added some options which were 
(not)recommended, compiled and rebooted. For now it was working fine all day

think it's worth to track it further down. It might have been some unlucky 
combination of events.
