Search doesn't work either.

So when did this start?  Is it a new install?  It sounds to me as though you 
no longer own that directory tree.  Can you, in a konsole, run

ls -l /home/youruser ?

If so, paste a couple of lines from it here.

I have had similar (or the same) problem recently and was able to track it down to the ~/.gvfs directory. After I was able to delete the .gvfs directory, my problem went away. The ~/.gvfs directory has recreated itself and I still see the hang but the hang is not every time. Unfortunately, I forget exactly what I did to remove the ~/.gvfs; I think I ended up uninstalling gvfs, deleted the directory and reinstalled gvfs.

To find the problem directory, I opened up a command window and performed variations on "ls a*". All "ls" commands that did not include .gvfs completed fine while those that did hung.
