I think I've found the reason for this. As stated, I use Fvwm. I don't use any of the supporting libraries of KDE if I don't have to. So, when I run konsole-kde4 and presses "tab" a few times, it wants to play a sound, but needs to start the whole sound-KDE-library-monster first. I think this is what causes the terminal to go entirely black and look like it's hanging.
