The problem happens on PCs with Web Cam or TV card installed.
Kopete tries to open a capture device and hangs.
Same KDE 4.1.1 Kopete is running fine in another PC without TV card.

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace-bin
Using Ubuntu Hardy with KDE 4.1.1 installed via ppa.launchpad.net
/kubuntu-members-kde4 repository.
The script "startkde" under /usr/lib/kde/bin overwrites LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
makes any extarnally compiled app unusable.

Mine hangs when I click "Preferences" menu option and leaves a eternally
"wait" cursor
Even if I kill -9 kopete it leaves a defunct process and doesn't start again
until a full system reboot is performed.
Using KDE 4.1.1 from ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4.
