Files place is slow to come up and dismiss

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

The files place is slow to show on screen and takes > 1s to go away when dismissing it.

This is because there is a "miscommunication" in the DBus interactions, where Unity sends us a barrage of messages that confuses the files daemon. The daemon then emits PlaceEntryInfoChanged (when the info hasnøt really changed) - this then confuses Unity and it sends an even bigger barrage of messages to the files daemon :-)
