Description Dino Wu 2006-11-15 04:44:08 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #216933 +++

main-menu in GNOME cannot display sometime, just a black pixel at the position where it should be, and several minutes(5-10) later, it appear!
Comment 1 Matthew Horsnell 2007-01-22 12:10:53 UTC 
main-menu also hangs for about 5 mins on login, this is incredibly frustrating as it forces the user to run for about 5 mins from the command line only. It is not obvious why this process takes so long.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2007-02-12 20:02:33 UTC 
Still occurring in 10.2 final?
Comment 3 Dino Wu 2007-02-13 08:02:54 UTC 
Not hangs up any more, but sometime it's still slow when the .recently-used.xbel becomes large. So i leave '~/.recently-used.xbel' empty and chattr +i to lock it... it's ok now without function 'Recent Document'...
Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2007-02-13 16:26:04 UTC 
Re-assigning and re-titling.
Comment 5 Andreas Proschofsky 2007-02-20 22:25:10 UTC 
I can second that, both with current trunk as well as with version-2-branch (built from svn on a Gentoo system). I had severe performance problems (main-menu taking a minute or so to load, 10 seconds to pop up after the button was pressed) after deleting '~/.recently-used.xbel' these are gone. btw: the effect seems to be even worse on version-2-branch
Comment 6 Andreas Proschofsky 2007-02-21 06:16:22 UTC 
After having it running some time now with the cleaned '~/.recently-used.xbel' it seems this also has solved my memory consumption proplems. The main-menu process went down from something like 250 MByte to 3 MByte. So this might also be the cause of bug #229190 (and fwiw bug #228129).
Comment 7 James Krehl 2007-03-20 19:37:27 UTC 
A fix for this has been submitted to autobuild, v0.9.7.
Comment 8 Andreas Proschofsky 2007-03-23 20:44:46 UTC 
Current svn really solves the memory growth problem, but: the initial loading time of gnome-main-menu still gets a lot slower with an increasing '~/.recently-used.xbel'.
