[Bug 42372] Some dialogues take a long time to open

[Victor Osadci]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Some dialogues take a long time (from a few seconds to a minute) to
open. This is not caused by hight load - the system is idle during the
dellay. Apps may also become unresponsive while waiting for the dialogue
to apear.

Having the system monitor applet enabled could help during the
observations.

Apps I can easily reproduce:
Epiphany: Edit -> Preferences
Rhythmbox: Edit -> Preferences
Gnumeric: Open/Save
gnome-screenshot
Open/Save dialogue in some apps (gedit, epiphany, gimp)

Well behaved apps:
abiword
