I had the same thing happen to me on kde, but only for vlc prog. The
first time I opened a file it took 25 sec for the dialog to pop up. It
drove me crazy.
I eventually solved it, but I can't remember how, sorry. The steps I took
were something like this:
try another user account
try removing certain conf files in ~/.config
try removing write access to them after they are recreated
tweaking files named QT* in ~/.config/
tweaking files in ~/.config/gtk-*/
removing all Trolltech.conf and restart desktop
getting rid of anything that saves recent files
purging all the samba/file sharing stuff I could find
Hope you find it, good luck.
