VLC 1.1.7-3 hangs up when try to open file or dir

VLC > Media > Open File
or
VLC > Media > Open Dir
makes VLC to just freeze. I deleted its config files and created them once again but that didn't help. How can I fix it?

Do a forum search.   Solution is to stop using KDE.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I did a general Internet search and found nothing helpful...

I don't use KDE, I use Gnome. Or you mean stop using Qt-based applications?

You have some KDE libs installed, so it must be the bug linked above.
