Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dolphin

Description:
When hovering the mouse over a FIFO, dolphin stops responding until I kill it 
manually.

Steps to reproduce:
1) mkfifo THEFIFO
2) open Dolphin
3) hover mouse over THEFIFO

What I expected to happen:
Dolphin shows some basic information about the FIFO.

What happened instead:
Dolphin stops responding.

My Guess:
It looks like Dolphin tries to open(2) the FIFO with O_RDONLY, which blocks 
(see strace snippet).
