Same problem in Ubuntu Dapper LTS 6.06
The problem is new. It was introduced last week on my desktop during an update.
I did a standard update download (via adept) and now digikam _intermittently_ hangs on startup during the "loading cameras..." step.  This is not easy to reproduce.

My versions are:
    $ digikam --version
    Qt: 3.3.6
    KDE: 3.5.3
    digiKam: 0.8.2-rc1

I tried to run it from konsole to provide some more data but strangely enough
1) it doesn't hang when I ran it from the konsole, and then it didn't hang anymore even when started from the panel icon...
2) Konsole doesn't print anything until the "Loading cameras" stage is over

The sequence of events is:
0) starting 'digikam' from konsole
1) digikam shows the kde popup with "scanning items..."
2) splash image appears
3) splash image gets to the "Loading cameras" stage (hangs here for a few seconds - about 4 sec)
[no output on konsole so far]
4) at this point splash dots make quick progress (can't read the messages since they appear and disappear too fast from the splash image) this is where konsole prints messages on the konsole too.
5) splash disappears and digikam starts ok.

Stages 4 and 5 are very fast so it is hard to determine when exactly lines were printed in the konsole window.

Anyway, the konsole now shows all of this:
