Answer 1

Maybe (because of occurrences of NetDictRequests) it is caused by internet modules which you don't have to need. I use just my local dictionaries and my ~/.stardict/stardict.cfg looks like:
[stardict-private]
version=1.0
[/apps/stardict/manage_dictionaries]
dict_order_list=/usr/share/stardict/dic/quick_italian-english.ifo/usr/share/stardict/dic/encz.ifo/usr/share/stardict/dic/czen.ifo/usr/share/stardict/dic/stardict-dict/stardict-dict.ifo
dict_config_xml=<dictgroup name="Default Group"><querydict><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/quick_italian-english.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/encz.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/czen.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/stardict-dict/stardict-dict.ifo"/></querydict><scandict><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/quick_italian-english.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/encz.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/czen.ifo"/><localdict enable="true" file="/usr/share/stardict/dic/stardict-dict/stardict-dict.ifo"/></scandict></dictgroup>
dict_default_group=Default Group
[/apps/stardict/preferences/dictionary]
only_scan_while_modifier_key=true
use_scan_hotkey=false
enable_sound_event=false
[/apps/stardict/preferences/network]
enable_netdict=false
[/apps/stardict/preferences/main_window]
hide_on_startup=true
search_website_list=
window_width=680
window_height=359
hpaned_pos=114
(Well, there are some strange symbols after ".ifo"s on "dict_order_list=" line, they couldn't be pasted.)
Internet (mainly those Chinese) modules are really unusable for me, so the first thing I do when I install StarDict is I delete all occurrences of <virtualdict ... /> and <netdict ... /> in the configuration file. Maybe it will help you too if you keep just <localdict ... /> items.
There's other thing that bothers me now with StarDict - RealPeopleTTS works fine with the version 3.0.1-3 but hesitates to with the up-to-date version 3.0.2-2.
