When I want to open a subtitles file for a movie, it takes over a minute for the open file dialog to show. Until it finally does, the vlc gui stays frozen (the film continues to play, though). I think it started after upgrading to KDE 4.6. I haven't noticed similar problems for any other application. emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.39 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.13-r0, 2.6.37-gentoo x86_64)

I also have this problem when trying 'Open file' (I hardly ever use it, though..).

Can you try recent 2.x versions of vlc to see if this can still be reproduced?
