[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#766819: Bug#766819: cinnamon freezes for a minute or so, when opening images or text with gnome/gtk apps and when closing them later on

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

I was still busy today with the #766943 so I've only had limited time
for this.

What I just tried now was re-enabling openafs-client,... rebooting and
then opening these images/text again.

The issue doesn't re-appear as extreme as it did last time (where the
system froze for 30s-1m)... but even now it still happens,... e.g. I
open an image.... then I see that the change from the clock applet from
one to the next second takes too long (roughly 2 secs than 1)... but it
continues counting for 3-5 seconds then and then it jumps over one
second (i.e. the one that was lost).

The same happens again reproducibly with eog, evince, gedit and
friends....

Since I suspsect gvfs is somehow involved, I've tried killing it, but as
soon as I start eog/evince/etc, a new gvfsd is spawned (any way to
prevent this?)


Next (with a gvfsd running again) I've umounted /afs... after that, no
delay in the clock occurs anymore, when I start eog/evince/etc.


So wildly guessing,... gvfs or something like that tries to be smart and
listens/polls/queries on places where it shouldn't (in this case AFS)...
when something goes wrong there,... gvfs freezes,... and this in turn
lead eog/cinnamon and friends to freeze?


Cheers,
Chris.
