Package: sawfish-gnome
Version: 1.0.1.20020116-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
On startup, sawfish recurses a list of directories looking for gnome
menu entries. This list is defined in lisp/sawfish/wm/gnome/menus.jl.
One of the directories it looks in is defined with the code:
(expand-file-name "apps" gnome-share-directory)
The bug is in the code that defines gnome-share-directory. It looks
through $PATH for the gnome-session binary. When found, it moves to
../share/gnome. So, for example, if gnome-session is found in /usr/bin,
gnome-share-directory is set to /usr/share/gnome. But if gnome-session
is not installed, gnome-share-directory is simply set to an empty
string.
This causes sawfish to look in the "apps" subdir of whatever directory
sawfish is started from. The problem comes in when a user (such as
myself) has an ~/apps directory that is rather large. Sawfish recurses
through this directory and reads a little bit of every file, searching
for gnome menu definitions. This takes a substantial amount of time,
and blocks sawfish from running until it's done.
I realize this is an upstream bug, and also that there is a newer
version of sawfish available in unstable. Though, since this is the
sawfish version available in stable, I decided to report this bug.
