strange Xine drag'n'drop Problem

Hi there,
This may be slightly OT, but since the problem started with the install of FC3
I think it might be relevant:
Background: FC3, upgraded from FC2; using KDE; Xine installed from Freshrpms.
I've noticed that Drag'n'dropping files into the Xine player window (or
starting Xine by double clicking on a file) only appears to work when the
filename including its path is longer than about 80 characters. For shorter
filenames Xine states that the file name might be wrong, and indeed displays
a corrupted (truncated + weird extra characters) version of the filename in
its error message.
Renaming the file to make its name long enough makesd it useable for Xine!
Any ideas? Is Xine to blame, or is it KDE? Am I the only one experiencing
this? I've tried with different users, so it seems to be independent of any
user specific KDE or Xine config settings.
Many thanks,
Florian
