Not responsive on linuxdcpp's startup

[buguldey]

- Detailed description of the issue and Actual results

When I click a linuxdcpp icon on a GNOME toolbar, a background process launches and there is never any GUI activity.

Yesterday, I configured linuxdcpp and added large shared folders.

- Steps to reproduce

Unknown.

- Expected results

Expected behavior: a GUI window saying "LinuxDC++ is loading..." or alike.

- Version

linuxdcpp --version
LinuxDC++ version: 1.1.0
DC++ library version: 0.75
GTK+ version: 2.20.1
GLib version: 2.24.1
Ok

- OS

Ubuntu natty

uname -a ; lsb_release -rd
Linux IM 2.6.32-40-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 5 20:26:31 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04

- Backtrace from an executable compiled in debug mode, if crashing

Not crashing. No backtrace available.

While launching, linuxdcpp eats huge percentages of the CPU.

With big shares/slow IO the startup can take awhile.

Is there also disk activity to go with the high cpu usage? And how long have you've waited it to start?

It seems that there is NO significant HDD discs activity (according to the motherboard's LED). How long - several dozens of minutes.

I.e. 35.1% CPU are used by linuxdcpp. This doesn't change much with time.

[buguldey (buguldey)]

Though---all shared folders I added are on the USB drive. According to a drive audial noise, the HDD activity is from medium to low.

[buguldey (buguldey)]

After a hour or 1.5 of a hour a linuxdcpp shown a hub window and a preferences window opened for editing, at the nickname UI. This pause before GUI appearance is unacceptable, must be fixed: "LinuxDC++ is loading..." window is expected.

Well , time to show one piece code from me..
Its showed splash screen on startup .
Its maybe beter that suddetly show info only in terminal/terminal...
patch attached.

I think I'm seeing this on Debian testing - was using nightlies from the PPA but went back to 1.1 in stable and even 1.0 in testing; they also give 100% cpu and an empty window on start. Maybe an issue with some other package?
