When bringing up "Open File" or "Save as File" the application crashes and this happens across all apps that use the gnome-like dialog (i.e. Firefox,Google Chrome). Konq, Kwrite, etc. work fine.
I'm on debian testing and have kde installed. The closest thing I could find on google was that the crashes might be related to a bad mount but I don't see anything unusual in /mnt or /media
Not trying to be a jerk towards all KDE users out there, but this is the reason I switched from KDE to Gnome... STABILITY!!!
Read the first post again and don't troll please.
The original poster is having problems with the gtk+ dialogs, kde applications work fine.
As for the topic at hand: if running from the command line doesn't give any useful info, try to run the program with strace. The simpler the output is the easier it will be to find the problem, so I suggest using strace to run a simple gtk+ program that crashes. The output for "strace firefox" will probably be much longer than the output for gedit or the like.
I have figured out that the dialog only crashes when my home directory contains .sh files (shell scripts).
.sh is actually the only extension I assigned an icon to in dolphin so I suspect that's the cause. For now I've moved my shell scripts to a different directory
