Description William Jon McCann 2005-07-14 20:47:30 UTC 
FUSA tries to synchronously read face icons from each user's home directory. 
This involves two potentially expensive operations.  The first is a stat that
can trigger an automount for a NFS directory.  Secondly, reading into pixbufs
from remote volumes can be extremely slow.

don't read images from remote volumes

This doesn't solve the stat/automount problem but it avoids the expensive read.

updated patch

Updated patch that should fix the stat/automount problem.  It relies on a fix
for bug #310418 being applied to gnome-vfs.

Thanks for the patch, it's in CVS HEAD now.
