I too have this problem.  Affects vlc and VirtualBox.  I am using Kubuntu
Maverick.  When vlc is run from terminal, it spits out this before freezing:
(I actually just noticed that the open file dialog will open up,


Blocked: call to putenv("LANGUAGE=")
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid
main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to
call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should
not do that since it most likely will not work 
Warning: call to sigaction(13, 0xb73d30d4, (nil))


I noticed several "Blocked: call" type messages including:

Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Blocked: call to sigaction(17, 0xb73d50d4, 0xb73d5048)
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")


My guess is that VLC is trying to figure out what translation to use and its
dbus calls are getting blocked.  I have no idea though.  The CPU is not getting
used abnormally.

Virtualbox only says

Qt WARNING: QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.

when the freeze occurs.

I am going to see if this affects a new user account.
