Ah, yes. This is almost certainly one of the applets, probably the 
NetworkSettings2 applet. Disable the applets in the build configuration and 
this problem should go away. (I should really get around to fixing this, 
sorry.) Note that you should really build the latest version (1.2.3) or from 
CVS rather than 1.2.0 which is quite old now.

Opieplayer is probably scanning your entire hard drive looking for media 
files, and does not respond while it is doing so. This usually works fine on 
a handheld because the filesystem is usually not that large, but on a desktop 
this can take a long time. Opie-MediaPlayer2 is a little better at this, but 
really it's something that needs to be worked on.

Cheers,
