Bug#385976: strange (and annoying) delay on startup

[Robert Millan]

Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.8.20-1
Severity: normal

Each time gcalctool starts on my system it sleeps for ~4s, with
apparently no purpose (I can't imagine anything that would justify this
for a lightweight program like this one).  Here's a backtrace:
