GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 328607
GtkFileChooserButton shouldn't read bookmarks in constructor
Last modified: 2006-10-26 17:31:44 UTC
When having a .gtk-bookmarks file with a remote directory such sftp:// it'll take a long time to instantiate a gtk.FileChooserButton since bookmarks and volumes are currently read in the constructor. With a slow url it took about 6 seconds to instantiate the button, I didn't quite check what kind of operations were performed, but it's definitely not how it's supposed to be.

More importantly, it will ask the user for permission to use the stored key for the location, or ask for the key, one by one. Often this happens long before the user has any intention of using a FileChooser dialog.
