GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 105401
GConf post-install stuff ....
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I suspect that the post-install thing in the garnome/gnome/GConf/Makefile is guilty of producing the following in $(sysconfdir)/gconf/2/path .... We're talking quite a few lines after a while, and that gives a slow response time on the system. xml:readonly:./gconf.xml.mandatory xml:readonly:./gconf.xml.defaults [these two lines repeated foo times at the end of the 'path' file]
Eeek, really old bug. Fixed in GARNOME 2.4.0 and later.
