Re: VLC Hangs on Open File dialog

In the mean time, someone in KDE actually looked at the issue.
It turns to be a longstanding known bug in the QProcess class from
Qt4. That bug gets triggered by a new "feature" in KDE 4.6 relative
to MIME types in the Open and Save dialogs, that happens to involve
the QProcess class.
In the end, VLC is blaming KDE, KDE is blaming Qt, and Qt is blaming
the kernel.

according to that thread, the problem has been fixed in kde-4.6.1. are
you able to upgrade?
Hmm, at the first glance, this is a KDE problem, since KDE plugs its own
file dialog into Qt, but fails to properly deal with locales there
after due to them not being initialized correctly. This is going to
produce issues, if you're calling QFileDialogs and expects them being
localized correctly. It might be possible to circumvent these issues by
instancing KApplication instead of QApplication (and doing the proper
KDE4 setup sequence).
yes, the problem is indirectly caused by a "compatibility" plugin that
invokes the kde open-dialog instead of the one provided by qt.
the offending plugin is usually installed here:
/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/gui_platform/libkde.so
personally, i always remove it whenever kde is updated.
