But isn't this a problem that Gene has been reporting here for literally YEARS across what he claims to be in excess of 20 fresh installs at this point? I don't think we will ever get to the bottom of it and I don't think one more install is going to fix it either. Normally at this point I'd say someone else needs to install and manage that computer but Gene's requirements are never going to allow that, so I just don't know what the answer is. > I migrated my data to a dedicated storage server years ago.

Chances are he then reports the same problem on his desktop afterwards but I suppose the mass storage would be ruled out then. To be honest the storage already *is* ruled out for me: The way he says it happens (only) when a file dialog is shown makes me think there is a DNS timeout for some reason. After seeing the countless threads where Gene runs roughshod over his /etc with selected chattr +i and rm until it looks right to him, then whispers some fantasies into /etc/hosts, well, ain't nobody got time for that.
