Bug#452469: gnome: hang for some time at startup

[Remi Vanicat]

There is the tall of a hanging gnome.

A long time ago, an automount was available, whose name was
/net/maison. As content of this automonted directory was useful two
thing happen:
- .gtk-bookmarks contain file:///net/maison/mp3/newmp3
- .nautilus/metafiles/ contain several filed named
file:%2F%2F%2Fnet%2Fmaison.xml containing metainformation about file
that were in it.

Then, I chose to change my automount, using something that
automatically try to mount say the home share of the foo host if one
try to access to /net/foo/home. And as maison was not the dns name of
the host where the useful directory was I began to acess it under a
different name, *and* the old path failed silently, with no timeout
(maison did not resolv to anything)

Then, my ISP change the configuration of dhcp generated resolv.conf adding a
"search neuf.fr"
part to it, and maison.neuf.fr does resolv to a machine that drop
sunrpc conexion, so when someone try to acces to
/net/maison/mp3/newmp3 for example, there is a timeout before failure.

So I've solved my problem, but still it seem that gnome-panel and
nautilus are doing some synchron file check that could make them hang.
