Public bug reported:
I'm using hardy 8.04 development branch.
Every time I launch a graphical app (say gvim or evolution, but also kde ones
like kpdf), it takes ages.
I launched them with strace and noticed that every time I launch an
application, it crawls my whole home directoty recursively. More precisely, i
get dozen of couple of lines like this :
stat64("/home/brauner/jtom/src/gen/tom/gom/adt/gom/strategy/gommodulename",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/var/cache/fontconfig/b80b10f3d66821b74d60e44d80124895-x86.cache-2",
O_RDONLY) = 15
fstat64(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=120, ...}) = 0
read(15, "\4\374\2\374\2\0\0\0x\0\0\0 \0\0\0h\0\0\0\0\0\0\0h\0\0"..., 120) = 120
close(15) = 0
Exactly those 5 lines for every directory in my home. The log file is
therefore very long :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wc -l log
72249 log
What is surprising is that if i create a new user 'dummy' and launches a
(graphical) program as 'dummy', it still crawls _my_ home, i.e. brauner's home.
This still happens if I logout as brauner, restart X and launches a new desktop
session as dummy.
