[pkg-cinnamon] 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]

Hey.

Sorry for not having been very active here recently....

Well it does definitely still occur,... and as far as I can tell it in
fact happens *always*, i.e. when AFS is active there's a tiny freeze in
some GNOME programs.
It's just that these very long freezes don't occur every time (in the
sense of "for a given boot"), but I even saw those every now and then.

Well that's a bit the problem,... there is not really much special about
my AFS setup (actually it's everything at default)... and as I've said
previously, the client was even deactivated until it got systemd ready
and automagically re-activated itself.

I was only able to test it with GNOME classic, since Shell doesn't work
here.
There I've seen it as well... 


I made some tests today, but right now I wasn't able to reproduce it,
but as I've said, it comes and goes. 



I guess this is not really a Cinnamon bug, but rather something in
gtk/gvfs - since only apps with that seem to be affected.

So perhaps the only bug in cinnamon is, that it somehow uses gvfs which
can block the whole desktop - assuming my assumption is correct.


Maybe we should reassign that to gvfs,... and perhaps wrt to
systemd/openafs report a new bug, that afs client got automagically
re-enabled, which it should not.


Cheers,
Chris.
