well you ge that because of a timeout in hearing back from efreetd. so during
startup e setups up a 10 second timeout in e_startup.c e_startup_mode_set().
that timer is deleted when e gets some feedback back from efreetd which in the
same file is _e_startup_event_cb() which listed to the
EFREET_EVENT_DESKTOP_CACHE_BUILD event from efreetd. that is not turning up. it
should. even if the cache is the same with zero changes, it should report this
initially. i can't tell you what is going wrong as you'd need to follow the
chain of events as to what is and is not actually happening but i can tell you
the above.

no. it's meant to stay around.
