[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#636479: xfdesktop4: invoking context menu on desktop icons takes several seconds

[Ibragimov Rinat]

Subject: xfdesktop4: invoking context menu on desktop icons takes several seconds
Package: xfdesktop4
Version: 4.8.2-1
Severity: minor

Invoking context menu (usually with right mouse button) takes
several seconds. I noticed that before menu opens some disk
activity occur. I've ran `strace -e open' on xfdesktop and found
about 292 open syscalls every time! 56 of them were creating new
files with names like '/tmp/gdkpixbuf-xpm-tmp.YMNKZV'. And these
files read on every menu display. I suppose it's related to
application submenu that contains every software launcher
installed.

Such delays are very annoying.
