Trying to start gwenview de facto freezes the system (mouse can be moved, though movements are sluggish). No error messages are displayed when started from the console[*], CTRL-C/CTRL-Z seems not to be possible anymore (slowdown by at least two orders of magnitude). [*] actually, I disabled nepomuk, so in that case "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" is thrown, but even if the nepomuk service is running, the result remains the same.

It's working ok here, on my i586 system. If you have a lot of pictures in the open directory, it can take quite a while to build the ~/.thumbnails/*/* files, but that is only done once for each picture. Once all of your pictures have thumbnails, it will be much faster. I have a directory with around 3000 images. The initial thumbnail building took a few hours on my 6 year old system. If you have a konsole running as root, and run htop while gwenview is running, I expect you'll see it's in a device wait, waiting for disk i/o. Let it run till the thumbnails have finished building.

I can't reproduce on x86_64 either.

Closing the bug, as this is normal functioning of gwenview.
