Slow gtk filechooser

[Kitt Tientanopajai]

Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-0

I'm now using libgtk2.0-0 version 2.12.9-3ubuntu4. I got about 20 sec. stall every time I open/save/save as through gtk filechooser.

I'm not sure if this bug is duplicated/related to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/189494
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/218230
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/229539

However, the result from strace suggests that it's about my bookmarks:

  22:42:24.002490 open("/home/kitt/.gtk-bookmarks", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8 <0.000036>
  ...
  22:42:24.010359 poll([{fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 <24.999541>

I've found that my bookmarks contain network locations (i.e., sftp, and smb). Removing those locations solves the problem.

Thanks for workaround!

I found out, that problem was caused by line "smb://192.168.4.8/ хлам" in my .gtk-bookmarks file.

That's looks like a DBus problem, just got a message about that bookmark: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The exact reason: invalid network bookmark (in my case - inaccessible IP) causes gtk filechooser to freeze
