So glib/gio libraries not just opens, it actually reads these files
visible in file dialog. Twice!
This is likely to be intentional: I'm guessing it's part of thumbnailing
the contents, or selecting the proper icon after running each file through
something like libmagic.
I guess so, probably checking mime type.
Can sysdig grab stacktraces at the time of the open() call? It might be
educational to find out what exactly is doing the reading.
I do not know if sysdig could do that, though I doubt it. I could debug with gdb further, though I need to setup/find
debug symbols for libgio-2.0.so, so backtrace I pasted earlier could give hints. I could step and check what's going on.
