Public bug reported:
Inkscape has been hanging at apparently random intervals recently.
It shows in system monitor that it is waiting on afs_[something] which is the
OpenAFS network file system that is installed on my PC. The AFS is hanging
because it's not connected or not authenticated or something, which to be fair
isn't Inkscape's fault.
The problem with it, is that I've no idea why it is trying to access the
AFS volume. This happens when I start inkscape with no file (i.e. just
run 'inkscape' from the terminal) from a directory on my main drive (not
the AFS). It then also happens at arbitary muliple minute intervals
and/or on every ~10th time I switch back to the inkscape window.
I'm guessing that there must be a recently used file or something that is on
the AFS, although I can't find it in the list.
Could it also be that the 'File Open' dialog is being primed or something? It
doesn't require me to open the 'Open' diaglog though, it just happens anyway in
the middle of drawing.
The second problem is that the interface shouldn't just freeze while
it's waiting for a slow device, since the average user wouldn't know
what's going on. It took me ages to work it out. I'm not sure if this
counts as a bug in inkscape, in openafs, or in some common file handling
component.
